BASSETERRE, St. Kitts - Kevin Molino scored four times, three in the first 32 minutes, to lead Trinidad and Tobago to a 9-1 victory over Suriname on Monday and a place in the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying finals.
Trinidad will be joined in the finals by Cuba, which later drew 1-1 with St. Kitts to finish atop the last four-team round of Caribbean qualifying.
Cuba ended with five points, one better than Trinidad and St. Kitts.
Trinidad's final day rout gave it a plus-5 goal difference, edging out St. Kitts which finished with a plus-2.
Suriname was last with three points.
The results complete the eight-team field for the March 22-April 2 finals in Kansas City, Kansas; Nashville, Tennessee, and Los Angeles.
Cuba and Trinidad will compete against automatic North American qualifiers Canada, Mexico and the United States as well as Central American sides El Salvador, Honduras and Panama.
Molino gave Trinidad the lead with goals in the 15th and 18th minutes, and added others in the 32nd and 63rd. Jamaal Gay and Micah Lewis both had two each and second-half substitute Sean Da Silva also scored before Frisco Mando tallied for Suriname.
In the nightcap of the doubleheader, second-half substitute Dalain Aira scored in the 72nd minute, his second goal in as many games, to give Cuba the draw against St. Kitts and assure its passage to the qualifying finals.
It will be Cuba's second straight trip to the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying finals and Trinidad's first since 2004.
Trinidad has never qualified for the Olympics while Cuba has reached the Summer Games twice, lastly in 1980 when it replaced the United States, which withdrew.
The United States led a boycott of the Moscow Olympiad to protest Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan.
