Honduras Hold Hosts Spain | 1982 World Cup EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS
1982 World Cup: Honduras Hold Hosts Spain 1-1
This is extended highlights of Spain v Honduras at the 1982 World Cup. Honduras took an early lead, Spain equalised from the penalty spot, and the match finished 1-1; the commentary praises Honduras's courage while criticising Spain's lack of midfield productivity.
- The Honduras scorer did what Spain had expected Zamora to do — He was only an afterthought brought in for a defensive role, yet he scored against the hosts
- Honduras did not come merely to learn; they have taught Spain a lesson — They led the hosts after only eight minutes, continuing the World Cup's run of shocks
- Spain's midfield is working hard but producing very little — Their running is not turning into meaningful attacking output
- It looks inevitable that Spain will pull one back — Honduras are being forced back as Spain sustain pressure
- López's penalty was excellent, too good for the goalkeeper even though he went the right way — The keeper guessed correctly but still could not reach it
- It would have been terribly unfair on Honduras if Spain had scored late — Honduras had held the hosts and defended resiliently to earn the draw
Honduras held out for a heroic 1-1 draw with Spain at their first World Cup in 1982. Relive the iconic match condensed to 10 minutes.

In Valencia, we are approaching the moment for which the whole Spanish nation has been waiting. 50,000 people packed into the Luis Kasanova Stadium and everyone who cannot be here somewhere around the country through to a television set. Gilberto with the ball here. the only player with real top class experience outside Central America. He plays in the Spanish first division for Viadid number 20 in the center of the midfield for Honduras. That's Figaroa and Aonado the save. Lopez party Alonzo could have a shot here. Tried to push it through but didn't find Juanito. And Gordo's attempt down the far side cut out at the expense of a corner. Good back HEAD UP AND CLEARED BY CROSSLEY off the line. And that's Aru the goalkeeper. It was a good effort. Forward by Hakin. Header by Wenlaya. AND AGAIN WITH A CHANCE. CAN HE SCORE? YES, HE CAN. YET AGAIN, WE HAVE A WORLD CUP SENSATION. Hector Villa, THE MAN BROUGHT IN AS AN AFTERTHOUGHT, gets the opening goal against the host nation. Brought in, we understood, to do a defensive role, and look what he's done for them. He's done the sort of thing we were expecting Zamora to do for Spain. That was going to test the Spanish now. Wonder how they'll react to that one. Honduras, who came here to learn, have taught Spain a lesson. A long, long way to go. 8 minutes of the match only. But the best imaginable timing, we saw Cameroon get a draw against Peru. We saw New Zealand give Scotland shots. We've had Algeria shaking the might of West Germany. Now Honduras in the lead. What a World Cup this is turning into. Good challenge by Guier. [cheering] Gordier's throw. Here's Elona. Anoaki Kamacho. [cheering] It's a good header away by Viega B. They suddenly are beginning to believe in themselves on Durham. Figura. That was all at 35 yds and it didn't have a lot of sting. to say confidence works wonders Jerry but I can't really say they're going to be darker from that range but still full marks of them they're going forward they're playing positive nice little touch by the header away by Viegas Viegas Yeah, Alonso Duat. Oh, lost his van beautifully and got the shot away but into the side neck. Roofed chased by Morales tried to put Juanito in on the one two. Janito chasing again. >> [cheering] >> So on not CONCENTRATING couldn't quite reach it at the back post but Honduras were caught not concentrating when the free kick was taken quickly and Satrusi coming for this but Viegas met it. Onito again with Bness at his heels and Bis wins the ball cleanly. Badiaga go far away. WONITO and over the top AND TWICE THE SPANISH CROWD ASKED FOR A PENALTY AND THEY DON'T GET IT. I >> think there must have been there must have been K shadow to get one there. Palonso. There's a lot of hard work going on in that Spanish midfield, but it isn't producing a great deal. MAYBE NOW WELL blocked and it's given as a goal kick. For more is in the middle. Natruski is going in asking for hand ball and the referee gave that one. Bonito again [cheering] and just over once more. Jerry, I think Santa Maria sitting in his dugout now just hoping that his team keep their discipline, keep playing. It looks inevitable that they get that they'll pull this back. Samura backs to the wall again for Honduras as Samura goes on and it's just touched away at the last second by Klaya. One of the best finish moves. >> That's better. That's more like the demora we know. >> Madiaga the skipper. bent with the outside of the foot into the path of Hilo. [cheering] On he goes for a shot. Was well struck but too high. Lope stopped and this time the referee says it was a foul. Gives the free kick. Any second now the whistle for Halime. Juanito lifts it over and possibly once again gets ahead to it. And there it is, Halime. The most unlikely result that you can imagine after 45 minutes of football. Spain, the host nation. A goal down to Honduras. Alonso couldn't get on the end of THE RETURN. MADE HIMSELF A CUT BUT VERY GOOD GOALKEEPING FROM certainly the nearest they've come to a goal yet Jerry Kamacho Sara oh that's a nice run but it was tucked off his toe ALONZO AND ANOTHER GOOD save the fierceness of the shot meant that it almost fell from Arzu's hands but he grabbed it the second time. Figuroa lifting it across to Betton Court AND HE'S GOT CLEAR SPACE HERE. HAS HE GOT A LEFT FOOT? Doesn't look like it. Well, he's gone the outside now and he's put it wide. What a moment of glory was beckoning him then. [cheering] AND WIDE and into the side netting from Sara who's left unnoticed at the far post. Gordo has had those socks down around his ankle since the first 10 minutes. And is that ability? Yes, it is. DIEGO COMMENCED THE ERROR AND THIS time Mr. Ali has no hesitation and I'm sure he was right. And Gordo is going across to have a word with Arzu because Gordo Gilberto rather plays in the Spanish league and he may well know which side Lope puts his penalties. So it's Lopez Lu against Au. [cheering] Oh it was A GOOD PENALTY. MUCH TOO GOOD FOR ARSU WHO WENT THE right way but just couldn't get there and now it's ONE ALL AND NOW IT'S BLAND. All of a sudden where these flags appeared from Jerry? I thought all these people had gone home. Yes, he's got his free kick. dramatized it a bit, but he got it. He'll settle for two. Figurra. Oh, that was a good effort that time. Outside of the right foot, bent around the wall and on target. >> Jerry, I think you had to try a shot there. That's the first time I've ever seen a free kick taken from there. >> Sara back to Kamacho. Sara again. had one or two wriggling runs that took him to the by line and here he goes again. Can he save it in the last minute? Locate Zamora and over and so into the last minute. >> That would have been terribly unfair on the Hondurans if they'd scored. Look at this. PONDURA, the unexpected heroes of the night at the Luis Catanova Stadium in Madrid in Valencia. They have drawn with Spain 1-1.
