Honduras qualifies
NZPA-Reuter Honduras A goalless draw against El Salvador at Tegucigalpa yesterday was enough to secure Honduras a place in the World Soccer Cup finals for the first time. With one match to play, Honduras is uncatchable at the top of the North and Central America and Caribbean group, with seven points from four matches.
The result left El Salvador in a three-way battle with Canada and Mexico for the second place in Spain. All three nations have collected four points from four games and everything depends on their final group matches. Honduras and El Salvador went to war over a football match in 1969 but despite the prize at stake, things were more peaceful this time round.
