Bermuda Shocks T&T, Grenada Returns the Favor to Belize

Bermuda put a serious dent in Trinidad and Tobago's hopes of winning group B with a 2-1 home triumph.

Bermuda has proven a thorn in T&T's side previously, and now the losing side falls three points behind Guyana for the top spot.

After a scoreless first half, Antwan Russell struck in the 53rd minute to give the hosts an advantage. Despite Trinidadian pressure, Nahki Wells doubled Bermuda's lead in the 63rd.

Kevin Molino raised T&T's hopes by pulling a goal back in the 81st. However, they could not find the equalizer and slumped to a defeat.

Bermuda will look to maintain its momentum in another home match against Guyana while Trinidad hosts Barbados and needs a win. (Match report)

After being shocked 3-0 by Belize in its opening match at home, Grenada routed Belize in the return fixture 4-1.

The win keeps Grenada's slim hopes of moving onward alive while it deals a crushing blow to Belize's chances.

Grenada put the game to bed in the opening half with three goals and coasted from then on. The side will host St. Vincent and the Grenadines on Tuesday in another must win match. Belize travels to Guatemala and needs to win to stay alive. (Match report)
