And despite the fact that all the press and fans of El Tri believe that the Honduran soccer team is an easy opponent, the reality is that they have already beaten the Mexicans before.

And not only did they beat them but from that moment on they showed them that they are no longer the Concacaf Giants, a nickname that the Canadian national soccer team now proudly carries.

When was the last time the Hondurans humiliated the Mexican National Team?

The last time the Honduran national soccer team humiliated the Mexican national team was in the World Cup Qualifiers for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. 

In that historic match, "La H" defeated Mexico by a score of 3-2, in a match played on October 10, 2017, at the Estadio Olímpico Metropolitano.

The duel, played in San Pedro Sula, was intense and the Hondurans were playing for their lives since Panama had beaten Costa Rica and had taken away "H"'s chances of automatically qualifying for the World Cup. 

This was also a consequence of Trinidad and Tobago's surprise victory over the USMNT, which left them without the possibility of going to Russia in 2018, so the Hondurans had to go out against Mexico looking for a win.

These are the goals with which Honduras humiliated Mexico

In the 16th minute of the match, Oribe Peralta opened the scoring with a precise header from a cross that originated from a play on the right flank. 

The match went on like that until the 33rd minute, when Alberth Ellis scored in a similar fashion to Peralta's goal, putting the score at 1-1. And 5 minutes later, Carlos Vela scored to make it 1-2 in favor of Mexico. 

The first half ended with an advantage for El Tri, but the second half would be different as Ellis got away with the ball and crossed to the area, where Eddie Hernandez was, who crashed the ball on the crossbar and on the rebound it hit the head of Guillermo Ochoa and signed the partial 2-2.

Everyone thought that the match would end in a draw, but the Hondurans would not be satisfied with that and at minute 60, Romell Quioto slipped inside the Mexican area and put the home team ahead with a low shot.

With his goal, the match ended 3-2, a historic victory for the "H", who beat Mexico in the Concacaf World Cup Qualifiers and showed the Giants that the Honduran national soccer team was no easy opponent.
