Overview

• Costa Rica visits Honduras in San Pedro Sula on Thursday with Herrera’s job perceived as vulnerable if results do not improve, according to Costa Rican journalists quoted this week.
• Miguel Herrera acknowledged the team did not start the final phase as hoped and said increased pressure stems from failing to close games after taking leads.
• Group C after two matches: Honduras 4 points, Costa Rica 2, Haiti 2, Nicaragua 1, leaving Costa Rica needing a positive result to stay in contention for first place or a playoff route.
• The team let advantages slip in a 1-1 draw at Nicaragua and a 3-3 home draw with Haiti, intensifying debate over Herrera’s attack-first approach during a generational transition.
• The match kicks off at 8:00 p.m. local time (10:00 p.m. ET) at Estadio General Francisco Morazán, with U.S. broadcast on CBS Sports Network, Golazo and Paramount+.
