A quick summary of action around the CONCACAF first group phase on TUE 11 OCT 2011.
» Haiti 02-02 Curaçao: Haiti, perfect in their first three encounters in Group F, were shocked to find themselves down 2-0 at home to Curaçao after fifteen minutes. But Jean MAURICE pulled one back with a penalty in the 25th, and Kervens Fils BELFORT scored the equaliser in the 60th minute. Haiti are now two points behind Antigua-Barbuda going into their two head to head encounters next month.
» Bermuda 01-01 Guyana: Though they have been eliminated from contention for first place, Bermuda continue to play the spoiler in Group B. John NUSUM scored for the home side with twenty minutes left to play, and although Ricky SHAKES equalised in the 81st, Guyana still drop two crucial points and now lead Trinidad-Tobago by only one.
» Canada 00-00 Puerto Rico: The Canadians were stymied by the islanders’ defense, but the point keeps them comfortably atop Group D. Two points in next month’s two matches against St Kitts-Nevis will see Canada through.
» Panama 05-01 Nicaragua: Los Cañaleros, meanwhile, have earned their place in the semifinal round. A hat trick by Blas PEREZ and a pair by Luis TEJADA gave Panama the Group C title with a minimum of fuss.
» El Salvador 04-00 Cayman Is: El Salvador have one foot in the next round after an easy win over the Cayman Is. The Group A title is theirs unless Suriname can defeat them twice next month.
