Guatemala and Costa Rica secure key Nations League victories
Central American national teams are making significant moves in the Concacaf Nations League. Guatemala secured a dominant 6-0 victory over El Salvador, led by a hat-trick from William Jehú Fajardo. This win moved Guatemala to second place in Group B, though coach Luis Fernando Tena noted disappointment regarding low stadium attendance during the match.
In Nicaragua, Costa Rica achieved a 3-0 away victory against the hosts. The match marked the debut of Bryan Ruiz as interim head coach and the return of goalkeeper Keylor Navas. Goals from Orlando Sinclair, Carlos Mora, and Kenyel Michel helped Costa Rica secure the win, which is crucial for their efforts to avoid relegation to League B.
Honduras has arrived in Martinique to prepare for their upcoming match against the host nation as they seek to remain in contention for the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, Guatemala has traveled to Suriname for a key Group B fixture at the Estadio Dr. Ir. Franklin Essed, despite facing roster adjustments due to injuries and suspensions.
