Moises Tafalla was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 61st minute. Honduras's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. In the 61st minute of the match, Edmundo Espiga got a very nice opportunity to score, but Joakim Isaksson was well-placed and pushed the ball away from the goal at the left post.
