-Wed Nov 19
El Salvador 1-3 Costa Rica - ES goal by Rudy Corrales. CR goals by Roy Myrie(2) & Freddy Fernandez.
Honduras 1-0 Mexico - Hon goal by Ricardo Osorio(OG).

Trinidad & Tobago 3-0 Cuba - TNT goals by Kenwyne Jones, Dwight Yorke & Keon Daniel.
USA 2-0 Guatemala - USA goals by Kenny Cooper & Freddy Adu.

Mexico still managed to get through to the next round even (they Vikingsed their way in) though they had a total meltdown in Honduras. They not only gave up an own goal to lose 1-0,but they had Gerardo Torado & Carlos Vela Red Carded late in the match. Could not happen to a nicer bunch of sore losers.

Freddy Adu scored his first ever senior international goal!
