Striker Jerry Bengtson scored for Honduras with a seventh-minute header and it was the only goal of the game - a result eliminated Spain, following an opening defeat by Group D leaders Japan.
The match became ill-tempered with 13 yellow cards shown, as Spain became increasingly desperate, with Iker Muniain hitting an upright, and substitute Rodrigo the crossbar amid a second-half Spanish onslaught.
But Honduras battled heroically to keep Spain's star-studded side at bay and earn an important win.
