It took until the 95th minute of action on Saturday night, but Costa Rica found the point it needed to officially earn a spot in next summer’s World Cup.
Eddie Hernandez gave Honduras the lead in the 66th minute, but that was cancelled out by Kendall Waston’s stoppage-time header. That put the Ticos through while making Honduras’s road to qualification much tougher.
¡GRACIAS KENDALL! GOLAZO ???

Waston’s goal also made things easier for the U.S. Men’s National Team, which now has an easier task heading into Tuesday’s Hex finale against Trinidad & Tobago. Honduras went from potentially being tied on points with the USMNT heading into the final round of matches, but is now two points behind the Americans and tied with Panama for fourth place in the Hex.
The USMNT can book its place at the 2018 World Cup with a win or draw on Tuesday, with its superior goal difference making a draw enough even if Honduras manages to beat Mexico and Panama beats Costa Rica on Tuesday.
Usa will be in rusia,iven whit a tie

It was Kendall Waston who broke Zardes’ foot with a vicious tackle a little over a year ago. I disliked him after that, but I’m not so mad at him now.
Whew! That was close.
