A quick summary of action around the CONCACAF first group phase on FRI 11 NOV 2011.
» Suriname 01-03 El Salvador: Los Cuscatlecos secured the top spot in Group A with a win in Paramaribo. Mark Lester BLANCO scored twice to send El Salvador into the semifinal round.
» Antigua-Barbuda 01-00 Haiti: After outscoring their previous Group F opponents by 21 goals overall, the Wadadli Boyz faced their toughest test yet. But they passed the exam as Kerry SKEPPLE scored a goal to remember in the 82nd minute, earning a historic semifinal round berth.
» Guyana 02-01 Trinidad-Tobago: Only slightly less shocking was Guyana’s win that wrapped up the Group B title. Ricky SHAKES and Leon CORT found net for the Golden Jaguars, and T-T now seem a nation in disarray after this result, along with the resignation of longtime CONCACAF president Jack WARNER.
» St Kitts-Nevis 00-00 Canada: Akil BYRON, playing in goal for the Sugar Boyz, turned in a stellar performance, but it was not enough to prevent Canada from advancing out of Group D.
