A quick summary of action around the CONCACAF final round on WED 14 OCT 2009.
» El Salvador 00-01 Honduras: David SUAZO’s cross in the second half found Carlos PAVÓN, who headed in the only goal of the night. The match ended with los Catrachos awaiting the other result.
» United States 02-02 Costa Rica: Emotions ran high in Washington, DC on both sides, where los Ticos were in need of a win and the Americans saluted forward Charlie DAVIES, seriously injured in an automobile accident earlier in the week. Bryan RUIZ’s two first half goals had Costa Rica on the verge of qualification, but the US equalised through a Jonathan BORNSTEIN header with just seconds remaining. That put Honduras in and sent Costa Rica to the playoff.
