Bahamas, fresh off 4-0 thrashing of Turks and Caicos in the first leg of their CONCACAF First Round series, returned home to Nassau to put an exclamation point on the series outcome. That they did and then some as they became the first of five teams to advance out of the first round of CONCACAF qualifying.Bahamas made their intentions for the night very clear early on, scoring in just the second minute to completely demoralize their soon-to-be-eliminated opponents. After that, it became the Lesly St. Fleur show. St. Fleur (pictured, yellow) added the second goal in the first half to take the game to the break at 2-0, but he really started to strut his stuff in the final thirty minutes of the game. St. Fleur scored four second half goals to bring his haul for the game to five, marking the highest single-player single-game outburst of the 2014 FIFA World Cup so far. St. Fleur is now the all-time leading scorer for the Bahamas with six goals to his name.
The final score read 6-0 Bahamas, but perhaps the biggest story was the new name charging up the leaderboard for the top scorer award. St. Fleur with five goals sits behind only Vietnam's Le Cong Vinh, who has scored seven so far. Bahamas wins the series by an aggregate score of 10-0 to advance to the preliminary draw.
