Re: ### MODERATOR'S NOTE ### I thought this thread was only about Central American Qualifiers... the thread I started was for the final CONCACAF tourney being played in Charleston.
A ten-man USA defeated El Salvador 1:0 on a late own goal, while Haiti and Canada played to a scoreless tie on the second day of matches in Group B of the FC Under-20 final Qualifying Tournament at Blackbaud Stadium in Charleston, South Carolina USA. The victory gives the hosts six points through two games and one of the two remaining CONCACAF spots to the FIFA World Youth Championship 2003 United Arab Emirates, with the final spot still up for grabs in the final day of matches Sunday. Canada, who will face the USA Sunday, are the front-runners for the second spot on four points, followed by Haiti with one and El Salvador, who have yet to get a point. http://www.concacaf.com/news/article.page/1088
HT update of Haiti-El Salvador Haiti 2 El Salvador 1 - Haiti scored a late goal in the first half....
Game over Final Haiti 2, El Salavdor 1... Haiti only did half the job, 2 to 1 is not result needed. Canada really has to screw up that one not to qualify.
