Man of the Match:  Francisco Spross Cifuentes (Guatemala)

 

Guatemala (4-0-0, 12 points) scored early in the second half to defeat Jamaica (2-0-2, 6 points) 1-0 and claim a place in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Under-15 Championship as the Group B winner.  Francisco Spross Cifuentes netted the game-winner in the 37th minute, tallying in his fourth consecutive game.  The Guatemalans conceded one goal in group play, a record only bettered thus far by Honduras, which has one game to play.

 

 

 

at West Bay, Cayman Islands (Ed Bush Stadium)

Grenada 1, Belize 6

GOALS: Chelon Edgehill 35’ – Mark Samuels 6’; Randy Augustine 19’, 35’+1, 67’; Alvin Sifontes 70’+3

 

Man of the Match:  Randy Augustine (Belize)

 

Belize (3-0-1, 9 points) ended its impressive participation at the CONCACAF Under-15 Championship on high note with a 6-1 victory over Grenada (1-0-3, 3 points).  The Central American side entered the evening needing to win by a significant margin and hoping that Guatemala would lose to have any chance of advancing to the knockout phase.  With both games kicking off at the same time, Belize held up its ends of the bargain, only to see Guatemala come out on top as well.  The Belizeans made it 3-0 by half-time, with Randy Augustine netting two of his three goals.
