Results

Dominica 1-2 Panama
  • Panama survived a real scare and took all three points in Santo Domingo thanks to a late goal from Jose Fajardo Nelson. Dominica were moments away from a famous result in Group D – Audel Laville equalised in the 82nd minute – however Nelson’s late heroics meant the Caribbean side wait for their first points of the campaign.
Cuba 1-2 Curaçao
  • Curaçao sit at the top of Group C ahead of Guatemala on goal difference following a hard-working 2-1 win over Cuba. All the goals were scored in the first half with Charlison Benschop’s strike on 44 minutes sealing the victory for Guus Hiddink’s side. 
Puerto Rico 1-1 Trinidad and Tobago
  • Dave Sarachan’s Puerto Rico earned a point against the far higher-ranked Trinidad and Tobago in Mayaguez. Joevin Jones scored the opener for the Soca Warriors early in the second half, but Ricardo Rivera was the hosts’ hero of the night as he came up with the equaliser just over a quarter of an hour from time to put their first point on the board in Group F.
Montserrat 1-1 El Salvador
  • An eleventh-hour equaliser secured a famous 1-1 draw for Montserrat against El Salvador, and just the third ever point claimed by the tiny Caribbean nation in World Cup qualifying. Lyle Taylor ensured a share of the spoils with his goal a minute from fulltime after David Rugamas had put Los Cuzcatlecos ahead on four minutes.
