Template:Family name hatnote 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[1] 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.[2] 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.[3] 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.[4]
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[5] and played at the 2003[6] and 2007 UNCAF Nations Cups[7] as well as at the 2009[8] and was a non-playing squad member at the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup[9] 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.[10]
He has been an understudy to Noel Valladares for most of his international career.Template:Fact
