Honduras’ hopes of advancing are a combination of a win, Chile beating Spain, and a three-goal swing, while Switzerland just needs a one-goal victory to book its place in the last 16 of the World Cup.
Stranger things have happened this year and the Hondurans are praying for a miracle. 
At least Switzerland set a world cup record. Their wall of defense prevented a goal for 551 minutes of play, and when the dam finally broke, it resulted in a 1-0 loss to Chile.
Switzerland played man down since the 31st minute when midfielder Valone Behrami was red carded for roughing against Arturo Vidal. It was a controversial call as Vidal later admitted it was only a neck hit, but the referee saw otherwise.
Substitute Gonzalez headed home a cross pass from fellow sub Esteban Paredes in the 75th, who had beat the Swiss defense and sends Chile to the next round.
Switzerland will be hoping to recapture the sort of form that saw them beat Spain in their opening game of the tournament, but without Behrami they will count on players like Alexandre Frei and Blaise N’Kufo who have all but disappeared from the tourney so far.
Honduras struggles to remain alive after losing 2-0 against a regrouped Spain on Monday.
David Villa scored two goals to put Spain back on track. The first beat three defenders in the 17th minute, and the second was his 40th international goal in the 51st minute.
Honduras seemed to know it was playing a superior team, and looked a bit lethargic against the speedy Spanish attack, never really mounting any serious threat.
Veteran striker Carlos Pavon may be the answer to their problems upfront. The 36-year old has 57 goals in his 101 caps for his country, and could come in for Walter Martinez, who saw very little of the ball against Spain.
Switzerland should have enough to beat a scrappy Honduran side, but given that the Swiss notoriously struggle for goals, and how well Honduras have done to keep the scores down in their previous games.
