Honduras loses 3-0 to Romania in last WCup warmup

Honduras will head to the World Cup finals on the back of another defeat after being comprehensively beaten 3-0 by Romania.

Reinaldo Rueda's side have failed to win since beating the United States in January and have lost to Turkey and Venezuala since that success.



Draws have also been secured against Belarus and Azerbaijan, and Honduras were unable to secure a confidence boost in their final friendly against Romania.

Rueda's side were 2-0 down by the interval, Daniel Niculae opening the scoring in the 20th minute before Gheorghe Florescu doubled the lead on the stroke of half-time.

A 76th-minute penalty from Mirel Radoi rubbed salt in Honduras' wounds, and they still have only two goals to show for their unsuccessful last five games.

Honduras, who will be playing in only their second World Cup finals, face Chile in their opening game of Group H on 16th June before fixtures against European champions Spain and Switzerland.
