Dominican Republic and Suriname Draw, Antigua and Barbuda, Trinidad and Tobago Win

The Dominican Republic tied Suriname 1-1 in a result that does more harm to both teams than help. The host side fell behind in the first half after they conceded a penalty to Suriname.

Friso Mando converted the penalty, just like he did against the Cayman Islands, to give Suriname a 1-0 lead. This advantage lasted through halftime, until the 68th minute when Eric Ozuna equalized for the Dominican Republic.

Suriname now has four points in group A while the Dominican Republic gained its first point of the second round. Match report

In group B, Trinidad and Tobago traveled to Barbados and obtained a 2-0 win. Keon Daniel of the Philadelphia Union put the away side ahead in the 20th minute.

Trinidad and Tobago wrapped up the points through Darryl Roberts in the 69th minute, who continued his fine recent performances for his country.

T&T now has six points from its first two games and holds first place in group B. Barbados has lost its first two group matches at home, and desperately needs to turn things around. Match report

Antigua and Barbuda had no troubles with the U.S. Virgin Islands, crushing them 8-1. Los Angeles Blues striker Peter Byers had a hat-trick, making it five goals in two games for him. Midfielder Randolph Burton added a brace while Ranjae Christian, Justin Cochrane and George Dublin all had one goal. Jaime Brown had the only goal for the USVI.

Antigua and Barbuda temporarily sit first in group F, now with two wins and a goal difference of 10. The U.S. Virgin Islands are last in the group, which was to be expected. They have a goal difference of negative 13. Match report
