Honduras, the U.S. opponent March 28 in the Hexagonal, played to a 0-0 tie with Peru in a friendly in Miami. Coach Ramon Maradiaga only started six players from the 2-2 tie with Costa Rica in San Jose a week earlier. Despite the experimental nature of the team, the Honduran press blasted the performance, claiming Honduras played without ideas and only salvaged a tie because of the work of Hugo Caballero in goal.
