Guyana continued its unbeaten start in group B, with a 2-1 win over Bermuda. Vurlon Mills had a brace for Guyana.
The home side came into the match on the heels of a 2-0 win against Barbados and knew it needed to do the same tonight in order to keep pace with Trinidad and Tobago. For awhile it appeared it was going to be difficult as the match was deadlocked until the second half.
Mills then scored goals in the 50th and 59th minutes to help Guyana get the three points. Khano Smith pulled a goal back for Bermuda in the 90th, who have now lost its opening two matches by one goal apiece.
Guyana now sits atop group B thanks to more goals scored in its matches than Trinidad and Tobago. Bermuda sits third, ahead of Barbados, both on zero points.
Curaçao almost pulled a huge shock against Haiti, but eventually fell 4-2 despite taking the lead twice.
Mirco Colina opened the scoring for Curaçao in the 28th minute to give the hosts a flying start. After Kevin Lafrance equalized for Haiti, Angelo Zimmerman scored from the penalty spot to put Curaçao back in front going into halftime.
Unfortunately for the home side, things fell apart in the second stanza. James Marcelin, Vaniel Sirin and Leonel Saint-Preux all scored in the final 45 minutes to spare Haiti's blushes.
Even though Haiti won, they will be disappointed they did not handle the game with more ease. Haiti will be in a dogfight the whole way with Antigua and Barbuda and goal difference could be the key. Currently both sides have six points, but Antigua and Barbuda has plus 10 goal difference compared to Haiti's plus six.
