Donis Salatiel Escober Izaguirre (born 3 February 1981) is a Honduran retired football goalkeeper.

Club career

Born in San Ignacio, Escober started at Olimpia's youth side Juventud Olímpica[2] and has played his entire professional career for Olimpia.

In March 2012, Escober was on the verge of breaking Motagua's Nicaraguan goalkeeper Róger Mayorga's 36 years old-record of 838 minutes without conceding a goal in the Honduran league.[3] He did not make it in the end, after being beaten by a Marathón goal that left Escober only 35 minutes short of Mayorga's record.[4] After the 2018–19 Liga Nacional de Honduras came to an end, Escober announced that he would not continue with Olimpia and that he would retire from football.[5]

International career

Escober made his debut for Honduras in a May 2002 friendly match against Japan and has, as of January 2013, earned a total of 17 caps. He has represented his country in 2 FIFA World Cup qualification matches[6] and played at the 2003[7] and 2007 UNCAF Nations Cups[8] as well as at the 2009[9] and was a non-playing squad member at the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup[10] and the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. He played in the 2018 CONCACAF-AFC playoff against Australia in both legs, but failed to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup with Honduras.[11]

He has been an understudy to Noel Valladares for most of his international career.[citation needed]
