The former Pachuca player brought down an opposing player in the midfield after Honduras had launched a counterattack, but HH fouled the player to prevent the breakthrough.

The Mexican national team is drawing the match against Honduras, which leaves Mexico with 23 points, in third place momentarily in the Concacaf standings.

However, Costa Rica has already beaten El Salvador and moved into fourth place with 22 points, while the United States is beating Panama 4-0, a situation that puts them in second place to secure a direct ticket to Qatar.

If Martino's team finishes their match against Honduras in a draw, they would have to win their match against El Salvador to avoid the playoffs or if Costa Rica does not beat the Stars and Stripes.

The Argentine coach will be without Héctor Herrera and will have to see who will play in his place on Wednesday, March 30 at the Azteca stadium.
