Angry Canada players bang on referee's door after defeat amid ongoing bonuses dispute

Canada players furiously banged and kicked the door of the match officials’ dressing room after a fiery 2-1 defeat to Honduras on Monday, as the national team’s dispute over World Cup bonuses rumbles on.

Goals from Kevin Josue Lopez and Kervin Arriaga either side of half-time put the hosts on front on a rain-soaked pitch at the Stadio Olimpico Metropolitano. Lille star David pulled back a late goal but it proved to be nothing more than a consolation, as Canada ended the game with 10 men when Alistair Johnson saw red in stoppage time.

On a frustrating night for the men’s national team, footage emerged from the tunnel appearing to show Canada players banging and kicking the door of the referees’ dressing room.
