Matchday four of the third round of Concacaf qualifying for the FIFA World Cup 26™ wrapped up on Tuesday, beginning with Trinidad and Tobago emerging from Curaçao with a share of the spoils in Group B. Also in action later tonight in the group is Jamaica at home against Bermuda.
Meanwhile, in Group A, Panama host Suriname and El Salvador lock horns with Guatemala.
How qualifying works
In the third round of Concacaf qualifying, the group winners will qualify for the FIFA World Cup, joining hosts Canada, Mexico, and the USA. Additionally, the best two runners-up will represent Concacaf in the FIFA Play-off Tournament™. In total, the Concacaf region could have up to eight teams at the FIFA World Cup for the first time.

Group B
Curaçao goals: Kenji Gorre (19)
Trinidad and Tobago goals: Tyrese Spicer (57)
Curaçao’s campaign suffered a stumble as they were held to a draw by Trinidad and Tobago in Willemstad.
Curaçao’s trademark counter-attack yielded the first of the night, as the Trinidad and Tobago defence failed to deal with a cross and Kenji Gorre gladly took advantage, curling a right-footed shot into the top right corner.
It was nearly two when Livano Comenencia struck the post with a hard hit, while at the other end Jerrin Jackie came close to stabbing home an equaliser off a corner kick. The Soca Warriors started putting the hosts on their heels in the second half and Tyrese Spicer brought his side level when he ripped a right-footer into net.
Neither side could find a winner, though, as both will look to finish strong in the final window in November.
To come.
