Honduras handed supporter ban after Mexico boss Javier Aguirre hit by beer can

Honduras have been ordered to play their next home match behind closed doors after Mexico coach Javier Aguirre was hit by a can of beer following the first leg of their CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final.

Aguirre was left with blood pouring down his face when he was struck as he approached Honduras manager Reinaldo Rueda for a post-match handshake.

Honduras won the game 2-0, with the second leg scheduled for Wednesday.
