A disappointed Haiti went home to Port-au-Prince to play their nemeses Antigua and Barbuda. Within the first ten minutes of the game, Haiti found themselves down yet again to Antigua after Tamarley Thomas scored his sixth goal of the tournament. Antigua held the 1-0 lead into the second half.Haiti finally showed some pride at the hour mark. Haiti scored two goals in six minutes to grab a 2-1 lead and some self-respect back. Kervens Belfort will go down as the man who scored the game-winner as Haiti held strong for the 2-1 victory to end their sour campaign on a high note.
Curacao welcomed U.S. Virgin Islands to Willemstad in search of their second consecutive victory in both teams' final 2014 qualifier. It took Curacao over half an hour to break the deadlock, but they grabbed two in a six-minute span. Goalkeeper Rugenio Josephia was sent off for a red card in minute 41 for the home side, leaving the U.S. Virgin Islands a man up and only two goals down heading into halftime.
The numerical disadvantage at first seemed to unnerve Curacao. Five minutes after the restart, U.S. Virgin Islands scored just their second goal of the group stage to get within 2-1. However, the visitors were unable to creep any closer. With seventeen minutes to go, Curacao found their mojo again. They scored four unanswered goals from that point on to end their campaign with a resounding 6-1 victory.
