The third and final round of group D is finally underway. This round puts in front the first and the second place as Honduras takes on Qatar. With two wins from 2 games with Grenade 4-0 and Panama in a thrilling 3-2 win, Honduras has already booked their place in the quarter-finals and will want to maintain the first place. On the other side, Qatar, after a spectacular draw 3-3 against Panama in the first match, managed to win an easy game against Grenade 4-0 and see themselves in a comfortable position with 4 points and just one point away from the next stage. The only threat for Honduras is Panama, with 1 point. The last game against Grenade and a big win of them combined with a loss of Qatar against Honduras would make Panama qualify with a better goal difference, seeing that both teams finish with 4 points. A complicated scenario, seeing that Qatar is a solid and tough team to beat. A draw would be enough for both teams in this match to fulfill their objectives: Honduras to keep first place and Qatar to qualify as well as the second-placed team. There is no pressure for Los Catrachos as they are already qualified, and they can play much more relieved, which can give them a slight advantage against Qatar. A win from Qatar would change the final ranking of the group as they would take the lead and leaving behind Honduras. It is going to be an interesting match!
