The picture began to settle in the CONCACAF semifinal round on FRI 02 SEP 2016.

• Honduras 02-01 Canada: Goals by Mario MARTÍNEZ and Romell QUIOTO on either side of halftime made the Catrachos’ progress from Group A all but certain...
• El Salvador 01-03 Mexico: ...as El Salvador’s hopes were extinguished. If Canada are to join Mexico in the final round, they must defeat El Salvador on Tuesday and hope that Mexico defeat Honduras, all whilst making up a five goal disadvantage.
• Trinidad-Tobago 02-02 Guatemala: Joevin JONES’s two goals put the Soca Warriors ahead 2-1 with a man advantage due to Cristian JIMÉNEZ’s red card. But Carlos RUIZ’s 86th minute equaliser kept Guatemala alive. T-T secure advancement out of Group C, with the United States set to join them unless they fall to T-T, Guatemala defeat St Vincent-Grenadines, and they make up a twelve goal disadvantage.
• Haiti 00-01 Costa Rica: Randall AZOFEIFA’s second half strike was enough to put the Ticos into the final round, with Panama joining them out of Group B.
• Advanced this matchday: Costa Rica, Panama, Trinidad-Tobago
• Eliminated this matchday: El Salvador, Haiti, Jamaica
