Panama was rather ineffective against the visiting Barbados side until the 82nd minute when Jaír Cathy converted off a diving header.The 1-0 win is good enough however for the home standing Panamanians.

Belize play their second match on Tuesday against Turks and Caicos in the Dominican Republic.

Levi Garcia made his way through the defenders to strike the first one for the Soca Boyz. An own goal by defender Sheldon Bateau who deflected a shot from Ryan Telfer put T&T ahead 2-0. But Tefler was not to be denied and nailed in the third when the Guyana keeper Anel Clarke fumbled the ball in the 44th minute.

In Group A, El Salvador’s La Selecta defeated Grenada 2-0 at the Cuscatlán Stadium in San Salvador in the last game of the day. Gerson Mayen struck a left foot goal to put El Salvador ahead and then assisted David Tony Rugamas for the second goal.
