Guadeloupe booked their place in the CONCACAF Gold Cup semi finals after a shock 2-1 victory over Honduras in the quarterfinals in front of 70,092 fans at Reliant Stadium.
 
Guadeloupe will face Mexico, a 1-0 extra-time winner over Costa Rica in the first game Sunday, on Thursday in Chicago in the semifinals.
The defending champion United States will play Canada in the other semifinal.
 
Guadeloupe's Stephane Auvray said the team's original goal was to move onto the second round.
 
"Now we are in the semifinals and we want to win," he said.
