Bermuda hosted Barbados in the same stadium in Hamilton as three nights before, though this time Barbados were the designated home team. Bermuda welcomed back Nahki Wells, who had flown in from England between games after scoring a winner in an FA Cup match over the weekend. Wells looked no worse for the wear and got the first shot of the match, which went wide. Both sides had one minor chance in the first half after that shot, but neither team could prevent a 0-0 halftime score.It took less than a minute for Wells to fire Bermuda into a 1-0 lead in the second half, his shot coming from 25 yards out. Captain Khano Smith (pictured, red #18) brought victory closer with a penalty kick conversion for a 2-0 lead after the Barbados goalkeeper brought down Antwan Russell in the box. Barbados scored a last gasp consolation goal in stoppage time, but it was not enough to prevent their sixth loss from six matches. Bermuda, with tonight's 2-1 win, end their campaign with 10 points earned in their four home matches. That point total would result in a second-place finish in the group should Guyana defeat Trinidad and Tobago tomorrow.
