A quick summary of action around the CONCACAF final round on WED 01 APR 2009.
» United States 03-00 Trinidad-Tobago: Jozy ALTIDORE sent the Nashville crowd home delighted as he scored a hat trick, the youngest ever [19] to do so for the US. T-T managed only a single shot on Tim HOWARD’s goal.
» Honduras 03-01 Mexico: Hondureños, and British headline writers, were delighted by this result, in which Carlos COSTLY scored twice for los Catrachos. The name was appropriate enough, as the loss led to the dismissal of Mexico coach Sven Göran ERIKSSON.
» Costa Rica 01-00 El Salvador: Andy FURTADO’s 25th minute penalty was saved by Miguel MONTES, but los Ticos would eventually score, through a Walter CENTENO header in the second half. Costa Rica are still a point off the US’s group leading pace.
