U.S. men's soccer routs Honduras to qualify for first Olympics since 2008
On Friday, the Americans ended their drought in resounding fashion, scoring three times before intermission and routing Honduras, 3-0, to clinch their first Olympic berth since 2008.
Paxten Aaronson scored in the third minute, Alejandro Alvarado Jr. extended the lead in the 22nd and Quinn Sullivan added a 43rd-minute goal.Dominican Republic, an afterthought in the pre-tournament forecasts, earned Concacaf’s other berth by defeating Guatemala in a shootout, 4-2, after coming back from a two-goal deficit in regulation for a 2-2 draw.
To prevent it from stealing the World Cup’s thunder, Olympic men’s soccer has been an under-23 competition since 1992. Though the Summer Games lack the prestige of the World Cup, the United States, a 2000 Olympic semifinalist, found itself failing to even qualify the previous three attempts and in four of five tries.
On Friday, they got off to a dream start on a goal by Aaronson, the younger brother of Brenden Aaronson, a U.S. senior national team attacker. Brandan Craig served a free kick that Aaronson redirected into the net from close range for his fifth goal of the tournament.
