Honduras narrowly escaped with a 1-0 win over the Cayman Islands in their FIFA World Cup Qualifying match on June, 2025, at the Truman Bodden Sports Complex in George Town. The match remained deadlocked until the 86th minute, when a heartbreaking own goal by Wesley Robinson handed Honduras the victory.
Despite dominating possession—holding the ball for 86% of the first half—Honduras struggled to break down a disciplined Cayman Islands defense. The home side’s goalkeeper, Deshaawn Whitaker, delivered a standout performance, making key saves and frustrating the visiting attack throughout the match..
Both teams made several changes in the second half, with Honduras pushing forward and the Cayman Islands looking for rare counterattacking chances. Ultimately, the pressure proved too much, as a defensive miscue led to the decisive goal just minutes from full time.
With this result, Honduras sits atop Group A in the CONCACAF second round, while the Cayman Islands remain at the bottom of the group. The win keeps Honduras’ World Cup hopes firmly on track as qualification heats up.
