The tournament host finished atop Group A, one point ahead of Jamaica (3-1-1, 10 points) and the United States (3-1-1, 10 points). The Jamaicans claimed second place on the head-to-head tiebreaker thanks to their 1-0 win over the U.S. in the second game of a tripleheader at the Estadio Francisco Morazan.
Honduras took the lead and gained a man advantage early in the encounter, when goalkeeper Gilder Lemus fouled Darixon Vuelto in the penalty area, causing him to flip in the air. Referee Mathieu Bourdeau pointed to the spot and showed Lemus a yellow for his infraction. Then, Guatemalan defender Mario Rodas was ejected after kicking the ball at Bourdeau from eight-yards away.
