Two Honduras Players Left Game vs. USMNT Due to Extreme Cold

Two Honduran players, goalkeeper Luis López and forward Romell Quioto, exited Wednesday night's 3-0 loss to the United States at halftime due to the inclement weather conditions.

Honduras' official twitter account explained that “extreme weather conditions prevailing in the stadium” led each to be subbed off. The game was played at Allianz Field in St. Paul, Minnesota, with temperatures in single digits throughout. Sports Illustrated's Brian Straus noted the temperature eventually wound up at 0 degrees with a wind chill of -17 as the game concluded.

Per 90Min, Honduran commentator and reporter Oscar Funes confirmed the two players were being treated for hypothermia.
