Gold Cup: Honduras tops El Salvador to tighten up Group B
HOUSTON: Romell Quioto scored in the 33rd minute and Dixon Ramirez iced the game with a second-half stoppage-time goal as Honduras beat El Salvador 1-0 in CONCACAF Gold Cup play in Houston on Saturday night. Paired with Curacao's 1-1 draw with Canada earlier in the day, Honduras' win really jammed up the Group B standings with one match remaining before the knockout stage. Honduras improved to 1-1-0 and sits one point behind Canada with three points. Curacao is two back with two draws and El Salvador (0-1-1) has one point. No team has clinched a spot in the knockout round as all four squads have a shot at finishing with at least four points. Canada will face El Salvador next Tuesday while Honduras takes on Curacao. Quioto opened the scoring on a nifty give-and-go with Edwin Rodriguez. After passing the ball to Rodriguez from just inside midfield, Quioto sprinted toward the net and split two defenders. Rodriguez hit him in stride with a pass and Quioto buried the shot from just inside the box. It was the team's first goal of the tournament after taking a 6-0 beating from Canada in the opener on Tuesday. With El Salvador pressing in an attempt to get the tying goal, Yustin Arboleda headed a crossing attempt from inside the Honduras box, sending the ball to Ramirez. He then sprinted down the field, got past goalkeeper Mario Gonzalez – who was playing up at midfield – and easily scored into the empty net in the fifth minute of stoppage time to put the game away.--REUTERS

CONCACAF Gold Cup: Curacao holds Canada to a 1-1 draw; Honduras beats El Salvador
Canada let slip a golden opportunity to take a stranglehold in their group Saturday in the CONCACAF Gold Cup in Houston, dropping an extra-time lead and settling for a 1-1 tie against Curacao. Nearly four minutes into extra time up 1-0, the Canadians lost possession near midfield amid sloppy play, and Curacao's Joshua Zimmerman collected the ball, finding teammate Jeremy Antonisse breaking free to his left. Antonisse made a long run to earn a one-on-one opportunity against goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair, juked twice, then scored through the last man in defence for the equaliser. Nathan Saliba had scored for Canada earlier, in the ninth minute, collecting a deflection of a free kick and burying a strike into the bottom left of the net.
