Mexico won his first match under the interim manager Jaime Lozanoopening of the Golden Cup of CONCACAF with a 4-0 win Honduras Sunday night. Luis Romo beat goalkeeper Luis López with a left-footed shot from about 15 meters after 50 seconds, Mexico’s fastest goal in Golden cup.
He doubled the lead in the 23rd minute with his third international goal, a header from point-blank range from a corner kick that Jesús Gallardo headed into the side of the net. Orbelín Pineda scored in the 52nd minute, dribbling just inside the penalty area before scoring his eighth international goal, and Luis Chávez added his second international in the 64th from near the penalty spot.

In the first game of the Group B doubleheader, Haiti beat wild card Qatar 2-1 after Frantzdy Pierrot crossed in the seventh minute of second-half stoppage time. Yusuf Abdurisag put Qatar ahead in the 20th minute and Duckens Nazon equalized the score in the first minute of stoppage time in the first half. In Pool A in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Trinidad and Tobago defeated St. Kitts and Nevis 3-0 with goals from Alvin Jones in the 43rd and Ajani Fortune in the 65th with a Jameel Ible own goal in the 73rd.
