El Salvador faced off with Suriname in the final match of FIFA World Cup qualifying for the day. The crowd at San Salvador was hoping to see El Salvador finish the first group stage with a perfect 6-0-0 record. In spite having already clinched the group title, El Salvador was using its strongest lineup, and it showed. El Salvador were granted too much time, too much space, and too many clear passing lanes on this night. Osael Romero scored the opener just beyond the half hour mark and La Selecta went into the break up 1-0.Romero scooped up a loose ball in the box to slot home into an empty for his and the team's second goal. Just beyond the hour mark. Rafael Burgos finished one-on-one after a long through ball for the 3-0 lead, and he got a brace of his own six minutes later after deflecting a shot into the goal with his thigh. The 4-0 loss sends Suriname to a disappointing third-place finish in the group behind El Salvador and the Dominican Republic. El Salvador join Guatemala and Panama as the only perfect teams in the CONCACAF Second Round.
