Despite Honduras' unexpected semi-final achievement, they lost to Mexico. Aguirre expressed respect for all opponents, maintaining focus on their own game.
Aguirre emphasized, "I would tell you that the opponent does not matter. We respect them, and we will try to win." His focus remains on the team's intensity regardless of rivals.
Despite a challenging tournament journey, Reinaldo Rueda reflected, "It hurts to lose today. They are a great rival. Mexico challenged us and we made mistakes."
