Mexico’s 2024 Copa América hopes suffer major blow after 2-0 first leg loss to Honduras

Mexico fell 2-0 to Honduras in the first leg of the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals on Friday. The defeat not only puts El Tri in danger of being eliminated from the Nations League but could also mean Mexico’s absence at next summer’s Copa América.
