Honduras Sanctioned After Mexico Coach Hit by Full Beer Can in CONCACAF Nations League Quarterfinal

Honduras to Face Disciplinary Action After Incident Involving Mexico Coach Javier Aguirre

Honduras is set to face disciplinary action after Mexico coach Javier Aguirre was hit by a full beer can during the CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal match between the two teams. The incident occurred in the 66th minute of the match, when Aguirre was struck by the can as he was walking along the touchline. Aguirre was not injured in the incident, but he was visibly shaken.

The match was stopped for several minutes as Aguirre received treatment. The referee then issued a warning to the Honduras bench, and the match resumed. Honduras went on to win the match 2-1, but the incident has overshadowed the victory.

FIFA Investigating Incident

FIFA is investigating the incident and has asked for a report from the match officials. The governing body could impose a range of sanctions on Honduras, including a fine, a stadium ban, or even a points deduction.

Honduras has a history of crowd trouble, and this latest incident is likely to further damage the country's reputation. In 2017, Honduras was fined by FIFA after its fans threw objects at El Salvador players during a World Cup qualifier.

CONCACAF Condemns Incident

CONCACAF has condemned the incident and has called on Honduras to take action to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.

"This type of behavior is unacceptable and has no place in our game," CONCACAF said in a statement. "We urge the Honduras Football Federation to take swift and decisive action to address this issue and to ensure that such incidents do not occur again."

Honduras Apologizes for Incident

The Honduras Football Federation has apologized for the incident and has promised to cooperate with FIFA's investigation.

"We deeply regret the incident that occurred during the match against Mexico," the federation said in a statement. "We apologize to Coach Aguirre and to the Mexican Football Federation. We also apologize to our fans and to the CONCACAF community. "

"We are committed to working with FIFA and CONCACAF to address this issue and to ensure that such incidents do not occur again."
