By Rubén Morales Iglesias: The final round of Group D fixtures saw the United States complete a flawless campaign while Saudi Arabia clung to second place following a hard-fought draw. Both advance to the quarterfinals, leaving Trinidad and Tobago and Haiti on the outside looking in.

USA 2–1 Haiti
📍 AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas
The U.S. took the early lead in the 10th minute as Malik Tillman redirected a pinpoint cross from Brenden Aaronson with a sharp diagonal header. Haiti struck back quickly through Louicius Don Deedson in the 19th, who fired home with his left foot after a solo run into the box. The Americans piled on pressure, hitting the crossbar and forcing saves, and finally pulled ahead in the second half to maintain their perfect record and seal top spot in the group.

Saudi Arabia 1–1 Trinidad and Tobago
📍 Allegiant Stadium, Paradise, Nevada
Dante Sealy stunned the Saudis in the 10th minute with a spectacular left-footed drive to the top corner, but Feras Albrikan leveled for the Green Falcons in the 60th after reacting first to a rebound off the crossbar. Saudi Arabia closed group play with four points and a level goal difference — just enough to reach the knockout round.
