Playing at the Estadio Doroteo Guamuch Flores in Guatemala City, the Reggae Boyz took a two-goal lead into the final half-hour, only for Costa Rica to find a pair of late goals to earn a 2-2 draw.

Alexavier Gooden’s goal in the 17^th minute and Adrian Reid’s effort in the 62^nd minute handed the Caribbean side a 2-0 advantage they held until the late stages, but Costa Rica got goals from Roy Bustos (79^th minute) and Sean Albriton (87^th minute) to collect a share of the spoils in the Group G top of the table fixture.

Costa Rica also claimed first place in the group with the result, while Jamaica finished in second.

Jamaica will next be in action on Saturday against hosts Guatemala in the Round of 16.

Goals from Yansiel Reinoso (22^nd minute) and Lizardo Hernandez (32^nd minute) put the Cubans in a place in which they only needed another goal to advance. They made sure there was no doubt, as Didier Reinoso (68^th minute) and Hanoy Sosa (75^th minute) scored to nail down a commanding victory and a third-place finish in the group.

Over in Group H at the Estadio Pensativo in Antigua, El Salvador defeated Suriname 4-0 to seal their spot in the knockout round round.
