El Salvador have qualified for this summer’s CONCACAF Gold Cup despite being beaten 2-0 by neighbours Honduras.

Carlos Pavon put Honduras in the lead from the penalty spot after 33 minutes and a distance shot from Marvin Chavez doubled the gap in the second half.

Honduras had already qualified and finish their qualifying campaign with a 100 percent record despite the absense of European-based players as Wilson Palacios, Maynor Figueroa and David Suazo.

Qualified so far:

United States (hosts)
