Gold Cup

* MEXICO, HONDURAS ADVANCE: At East Rutherford, N.J., Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez's second half goal helped defending champion Mexico come from behind to beat Guatemala 2-1 in the quarterfinals of the Gold Cup on Saturday night.

Trailing 1-0 in the second half, substitute Aldo De Nigris equalized in the 48th minute before Manchester United star Chicharito's 66th minute goal gave undermanned Mexico a semifinal berth against Honduras on Wednesday night in Houston.

"Our team is very strong at the core," coach Jose Manuel de la Torre said after the match. "They know they should win versus any adversity. We knew it was a difficult match and a difficult opponent. The early goal was because the field was a little complicated and heavy but we knew that we would come back, and we did."

Guatemala, ranked 124th, didn't make things easy for No. 28 Mexico although El Tri had most of the scoring chances in the second half.

Mexico currently only has 17 squad players because goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa and defender Francisco Rodriguez, both starters on last year's World Cup team, and three others were removed from the team Thursday after testing positive for clenbuterol, a banned anabolic agent.

Honduras advanced in the first game of the doubleheader at the New Meadowlands Stadium that drew a sellout crowd of 78,807 with a 4-2 penalty shootout win over Costa Rica.
