Qatar will face Honduras at the University of Phoenix Stadium on Thursday in the group stages of the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
The Maroons endured a difficult start to their Gold Cup campaign last weekend as they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Haiti. They took the lead just 20 minutes after kick-off, with Yusuf Abdurisag getting on the scoresheet before seeing their opponents draw level from the penalty spot in the first half. Haiti clinched all three points deep into additional time.
Qatar sit third in their group with zero points. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways when they play on Thursday.
Honduras also suffered a losing start to the continental showpiece, suffering a 4-0 defeat to Mexico after conceding two goals in either half. They could have no complaints about the result after managing just one shot in the opposition box throughout the game.
Los Catrachos sit rock-bottom in their group with zero points and will be looking to pick up their first win of the competition this week.
