Honduras Largely Dominates, Cayman Islands Resists Intensely in George Town
George Town, Cayman Islands – Honduras secured a victory at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex, in a match where their absolute control of the ball did not lead to a rout. The match, part of the CONCACAF World Cup 2026 qualifying round, saw the Honduran team with 86% possession and a total of 31 shots, 8 of which were on target. However, the Cayman Islands’ defense, though at times overwhelmed, stood firm.
The score remained tight thanks to the defensive perseverance of the home side, who managed only one shot throughout the match. The intensity of the game was reflected in the yellow cards, with two for the Cayman Islands (J. D. Alexander and C. Reeves) and one for Honduras (C. Mejia). The only goal of the match came in the 86th minute, thanks to an own goal by W. Robinson. Despite fifteen corners in favor of Honduras, their superiority was not reflected in a larger lead.
