The night contest between Saint Kitts and Nevis and Puerto Rico produced the most drama on the day.

For the first 90 minutes it was a showcase in spectacular goalkeeping, as both Saint Kitts and Nevis’ Julani Archibald and Puerto Rico’s Cody Laurendi made a number of top-notch saves to keep things scoreless.

But the insistence of home side Saint Kitts and Nevis won out in the end as Harrison Panayiotou fired in from close-range in the 90+1’ to give the Sugar Boyz the thrilling 1-0 victory.

Aruba also enjoyed a solid start to its CNL with a 3-1 home victory versus Bermuda. Ronald Gomez struck in just the 7’ and it was a quick 1-0 lead for the home side. Three minutes later the home fans were back on their feet celebrating a 2-0 advantage, as Raymond Baten converted a penalty following a takedown of Annuar Kock in the Bermuda area.

But Bermuda showed plenty of fight and by the 21’ it was 2-1 after Jonte Smith scored on a loose ball in front of goal.

Aruba would restore its two-goal advantage though through Eric Santos in the 50’ to claim a 3-1 lead, which it held until the final whistle.

Earlier in the day, the ever-improving Dominican Republic used a strong second-half to down Bonaire 5-0 thanks in part to Domingo Peralta’s hat-trick.

All five goals for the Dominican came in the final half-hour, starting with Peralta’s right-footed finish in the 66’. Peralta was back at it nine minutes later with another right-footed effort to make it 2-0.

Jean Carlos Lopez Moscoso all but sealed the three points in the 86’ for a 3-0 lead, which was then followed by Peralta’s third in the 88’. Carlos Heredia Fontana capped the Dominican celebration and 5-0 final with a goal in the 90+2’.
