BRADENTON, Florida – Saturday’s action at the 2019 Concacaf Under-17 Championship saw Panama, Costa Rica, United States and Canada all enjoy decisive victories.

Barbados vs. United States, Group F

The United States stayed unbeaten in Group H with a 6-1 win over Barbados.

The U.S. got goals from Kobe Hernandez-Foster (20’), Gianluca Busio (26’, 45’), Adam Saldana (33’) and Alfonso Campo-Chavez (50’), plus an own goal from Barbados’ Ethan Bryan (47’), while Devonte Richards converted a penalty in the 54’ for Barbados’ lone score.

Canada vs. Guatemala, Group F

A spectacular performance from Jayden Nelson earned Canada all three points in a thrilling 4-2 victory over Guatemala. Nelson struck for his first of three goals in the 2’, only for Guatemala’s Andy Palencia to pull his side level in the 6’.

But Nelson’s insatiable goal-scoring appetite would emerge, as he added a goal in the 34’ after Kamrom Habibullah’s goal in the 30’.

Still, the Chapines continued battling and a goal from Diego Santis in the 84’ pulled the Central Americans to within one, but the day belonged to Nelson, who scored his third and final goal of the day in the 90’ to cement the Canada win.

Panama vs. Suriname, Group H

Panama collected its first win of the CU17 in a 3-1 final versus Suriname. Edilson Carrasquilla (37’) and Reymundo Williams (60’) gave the Canaleros a two-goal lead, but Suriname would fight back and halve the deficit through Faisijo Burnet (71’).

However, Eric Rowe (90+3’) ended any hopes of a Suriname comeback with a late score to seal the three points.

Curacao vs. Costa Rica, Group H

Costa Rica used a balanced performance to top Curacao 3-0.

Geancarlo Castro (30’, 67’) had a brace, while Manfred Ugalde (82;’) added a late score to push the Ticos to the top of Group H.
