Trinidad and Tobago 2 - Guyana 0

Trinidad and Tobago welcomed their conquerors into Port of Spain for their last hurrah. Trinidad were eliminated by Guyana on Friday, but they had the opportunity to pay them back at home and find a bit of solace. The fans did not show up due to their disappointment in the Soca Warriors' early elimination, so Guyana did not have to contend with the typical noise factor of Port of Spain. Trinidad nevertheless came out with the majority of the ideas, narrowly missing out on the opener on several occasions. The half ended 0-0.

In the second half, Trinidad showed some pride. In a match that lacked intensity, Trinidad's Kenwyne Jones (pictured, red) of Stoke City scored the opener, and Trinidad added the second six minutes later. All of about 400 or so fans got to celebrate Trinidad's 2-0 win, but Guyana will not be heartbroken by the result as they had already won the group and the right to participate in the next phase of North American qualifying.
