Honduras Qualifies for London Olympics

Second-half substitute Gerson Rodas scored twice in a goal-filled overtime, giving Honduras a 3-2 victory over El Salvador on Saturday in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament.

Honduras earns its second straight Olympic berth and third since 2000. El Salvador, the surprise Group A winner, has not qualified since 1968.
