The day’s action started in Group E at the Estadio Nacional in Tegucigalpa where Cuba made it two wins from two games in a 6-0 triumph over St Kitts and Nevis.

Kevin Martin was the first one to strike, scoring in the 18th for a 1-0 Cuba lead.
The Sugar Boyz hung tough and stayed within a goal until the final half-hour, as Cuba doubled their lead to 2-0 in the 61’ through Eduardo Hernandez.

Mario Penalver tacked on a third in the 73’, an Ajani Mills own goal then made it 4-0 in the 78’, which was then followed a minute later by Romario Torrez’s goal.
The 6-0 scoreline was then completed in the 90’ by Rey Rodriguez.

Meantime, Costa Rica earned their first victory of the tournament with a 3-0 victory over Antigua and Barbuda in Group H at the Estadio Morazan.
All three goals for the Ticos came in the second half, with Brandon Calderon breaking the deadlock in the 48’, Enyel Escoe doubling the advantage in the 78’ and Dorian Rodriguez tallying his second goal of the tournament in the 89’ to round out the 3-0 final.

Host nation Honduras wrapped up the day’s action in San Pedro Sula by downing Jamaica 5-0.
Marco Tulio Aceituno added to his tournament total of three goals with a first-half brace in the 3’ and 35’.

A Jamaica red card at the end of the half made the comeback task even more difficult for the Reggae Boyz, and the Catrachos took advantage, adding an Isaac Castillo goal in the 48’ and then a Jefryn Macias brace in the 58’ and 85’ to seal another three points.
