Concacaf Nations League: Guatemala and Jamaica advance to quarter-finals
The group stage of the Concacaf Nations League A has concluded, determining the matchups for the quarter-finals. Guatemala and Jamaica have secured the top two spots in Group B. Guatemala advanced following a dramatic 1-0 victory over Suriname, secured by a stoppage-time goal from Matthew Evans. Jamaica clinched their spot after a 1-1 draw against Honduras. Consequently, Guatemala is set to face Canada, while Jamaica will play against Mexico in the upcoming two-legged series scheduled for November.
Other group results include Costa Rica defeating Haiti 2-0, which ensured Costa Rica's place in the Nations League A but left them unable to advance to the quarter-finals. Haiti, however, successfully progressed to the next round. In Group A, the Dominican Republic secured a 2-1 comeback victory against Nicaragua, finishing third and guaranteeing their participation in the 2027 Gold Cup preliminary round.
Honduras, following their draw with Jamaica, will compete in the preliminary round in March 2027 to fight for remaining spots in the Gold Cup. The upcoming quarter-final matchups are: Panama vs. Curacao, Canada vs. Guatemala, United States vs. Haiti, and Mexico vs. Jamaica.
