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]
