Argentina, gold medal winners in their last two appearances at the Games in Athens and Beijing, fluffed the chance to open the scoring when Angel Correa scuffed his spot kick wide nine minutes into the second half.

Antony Lozano converted the second of two penalties for Honduras in the 75th minute and they held on to their advantage until the third minute of stoppage time when Mauricio Martinez levelled from a free kick.
