Con un tanto de Antony Lozano, jugador del Tenerife, el seleccionado preolímpico de Honduras venció por 1-0 a Haití en la jornada inaugural del Grupo B del torneo de la Concacaf que clasifica a dos equipos a los Juegos Olímpicos Río 2016.

Lozano puso adelante a Honduras al minuto 6 al aprovechar un rebote dentro del área y con un balazo disparó al travesaño y el esférico luego se anidó en las redes.

Haití buscó el empate, pero los catrachos estuvieron más cerca de convertir durante el encuentro.

La victoria deja a Honduras con tres puntos, mientras que México y Costa Rica jugaban a segunda hora.

La actividad del Grupo A continúa mañana con Canadá enfrentando a Panamá y Cuba a Estados Unidos. Los primeros dos de cada grupo avanzan a semifinales y los dos finalistas aseguran su boleto a Río 2016.
