Honduras aim to go for the kill in first leg vs Australia


(Reuters) - Honduran players arrived home for the World Cup playoff against Australia this week stressing the importance of a first-leg victory, with striker Anthony Lozano saying they must "kill off" the Aussies before the long trip to Sydney for the return leg.

"You have to give your all in these games, you have to kill them off if you can," Lozano, who scored for the Barcelona B team in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Cultural Leonesa, told Honduran newspaper La Prensa.
