Host Guatemala tops Jamaica 2-0

GUATEMALA CITY - Host Guatemala overcame a lighting failure and Jamaica 2-0 to claim its opening game Monday at the CONCACAF Under-20 Championship. An own-goal in the eighth minute and Gerson Lima's insurance tally in the 35th paced "Los Chapines" before a home crowd, which had to sit through 18½ minutes of darkness in the second half when half of the six lighting towers lost power


U.S. overwhelms Suriname 4-0 to open U-20s

GUATEMALA CITY - First-half goals by Bobby Wood, Joe Gyau and Conor Doyle sparked the United States to a 4-0 victory over Suriname on Tuesday in the opening game for both at the CONCACAF Under-20 Championship. The Americans, trying for an eighth consecutive trip to the U-20 World Cup, controlled the match from the start, hitting the post twice in the opening 45 minutes in addition to jumping ahead 3-0. Kelyn Rowe added a second-half strike after Suriname had been reduced to 10 men, and Doyle hit the post again in the final six minutes.

Ticos wear down Guadeloupe, head to U20 QFs

GUATEMALA CITY - Joel Campbell scored twice in six minutes early in the second half to give defending champion Costa Rica a 3-0 victory over Guadeloupe on Wednesday, sending the Ticos and Canada into the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Under-20 Championship.

The loss eliminated the French Caribbean island, playing in the CONCACAF finals for only the second time and first since 1992

Cuba-Trinidad draw sends Mexico to U-20 QFs

GUATEMALA CITY - Caribbean rivals Cuba and Trinidad & Tobago played to a 0-0 draw Wednesday at the CONCACAF Under-20 Championship, assuring Mexico of a quarterfinal berth.

It was the second time in three days that Cuba was held without a goal, leaving its knockout-round fate depending on the result of the Group D finale between Trinidad and Mexico. Mexico beat Cuba 3-0 on Monday, meaning Trinidad needs a win, draw or a loss by two goals or less to advance.

Cuba will need Mexico to win by four goals to be assured of advancing.
