 PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad – Khaleem Hyland scored in the 88th minute to salvage a 1-1 draw for Trinidad & Tobago with Honduras on Saturday in the final round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying.

The result was a reversal of fortune for the Soca Warriors from their last game, when they allowed two goals in the final eight minutes, including an equalizer in injury time, and had to settle for a 2-2 draw at El Salvador.

Honduras appeared headed for victory after Carlos Pavon scored in the 51st minute.

The 35-year-old Pavon, a veteran of the Honduran national side since 1993, was making his first appearance in qualifying for the 2010 World Cup. After Trinidad failed to completely clear a corner kick, Pavon nodded it in to give Honduras its first points in the final round of qualifying.

After playing both of its opening games on the road, it gets to return home on Wednesday to face Mexico, which beat Costa Rica 2-0 in Mexico City on Saturday to end its four-game winless streak in qualifying.

Trinidad had the better of play early, but was unable to convert its dominance of possession into quality chances.

The Soca Warriors, which failed to qualify for the CONCACAF Gold Cup in July, was playing without striker Dwight Yorke, who was suspended for four games for cursing at the officials following the draw with El Salvador.

They will travel to Nashville, Tennessee, on Wednesday for their next qualifier, against the United States.
