Nicaragua claimed a 2–0 victory over Honduras in World Cup Qualifying CONCACAF Group C on 14 November, securing three points despite being outshot by their visitors. Honduras dominated the territorial battle, registering 15 shots to Nicaragua's 11, with a superior 5 shots on target to 3, yet profligacy in front of goal proved costly. Nicaragua's goalkeeper made decisive interventions, posting a 33.33 per cent save rate while conceding 2.0 post-shot expected goals, indicating Honduras squandered several presentable opportunities. Both sides operated in a 4–2–3–1 shape, though Nicaragua's defensive discipline and clinical finishing—converting limited chances into goals—separated the teams. The result leaves Honduras facing questions about their conversion efficiency in the qualifying campaign.
