Honduras will face El Salvador at the Shell Energy Stadium on Saturday in the second group-stage game of their 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup campaign. Los Catrachos headed into their 12th consecutive Gold Cup intent on bettering their group-stage exit in the previous edition of the continental showpiece.
However, they opened their group in disastrous fashion as they fell to a 6-0 hiding at the hands of Canada, conceding four times in the second half as they recorded their heaviest defeat in over six years.
El Salvador have also been regular participants in the Gold Cup in recent history and managed to pick up a point on the opening day. They played out a goalless draw against Curacao in their game on Tuesday and could have little complaints about the result after failing to register a single shot on target in the opposition box throughout the contest.
