Haiti extended their unbeaten run in the Concacaf Nations League as they secured top spot in Group C of League B when they hammered Sint Marteen 8-0 Friday.

That win earned Haiti promotion to League A and, by extension, secured their participation in next year’s Concacaf Gold Cup. 

Meanwhile, the race in Group B took a twist as Grenada defeated leaders Saint Lucia, while Curacao earned a victory to jump into the number one spot.

Saint Lucia vs. Grenada

Grenada knocked Saint Lucia out of the top spot in Group B with a 4-0 victory at the Ergilio Hato Stadium in Willemstad, Curacao.

After playing out a goalless first half, Grenada eventually broke the deadlock in the 50th through Jermaine Francis’ header.

Regan Charles-Cook doubled the lead six minutes later with a firm finish from deep inside the 18-yard box.

Trevon Williams added a third in the 74^th, before Myles Hippolyte struck a blazing left-footed shot from the edge of the box in the 86th to cap Grenada’s win. 

With the victory, Grenada moved to seven points and assured itself at least a third-place finish to avoid relegation. Saint Lucia dropped to second place on nine points, one point behind Curacao, on 10 points.

 Saint Martin vs. Curaçao

Curacao registered a 5-0 rout of Saint Martin in the feature game at the Ergilio Hato Stadium in Willemstad.

Jearl Margaritha stole the show by scoring four goals, two in each half, in commanding fashion.

His first came in the 24th as he used good footwork to lose defenders and blast the opener.

He added a second 10 minutes later, when he pulled off an excellent backheel flick to put Curacao 2-0 up at the break.

In the 54th, Margaritha sprinted into the box and ripped a loose ball for his hat trick. 

Juninho Bacuna scored a penalty kick in the 78^th, before Margaritha finished off his outstanding performance with another tidy finish in the 80th.

With one point separating them, Curacao and Saint Lucia will lock horns in an intriguing clash to determine the group winners on Monday. 

Sint Maarten vs. Haiti

A hat-trick from Frantzdy Pierrot and a Duckens Nazon brace laid the platform for Haiti’s 8-0 beating of Sint Maarten at Estadio Centroamericano de Mayagüez in Mayagüez in Puerto Rico. 

It was Attys Christopher who fired home as Haiti made the most of a corner kick.

Pierrot struck a double blow in the 14th and 25th, with Markhus Lacroix adding a fourth in between in the 19th.

The onslaught continued in the second half as Haiti tallied three more goals in rapid fashion. Nazon struck in the 49th and 58th as Pierrot completed his hat trick in the 52nd.

Mondy Prunier capped the win with a 67th-minute strike.

Haiti, has now scored 26 goals in five matches. They will play second-placed Puerto Rico, who defeated Aruba 5-1 on Monday.

Puerto Rico remains in the hunt for a Gold Cup preliminary spot as one of the best runners-up.

Sint Maarten has been relegated.

Haiti extended their unbeaten run with a 5-3 win over Aruba, while Saint Martin stunned Saint Lucia 4-0 as both teams ended the October window on a high in their respective League B Concacaf Nations League groups on Monday.

Keelan Lebon (8th and 45th), Sacha Barakat (26^th) and Pierre-Bertrand Arne (62nd) did the damage for Saint Martin at the Darren Sammy Cricket Ground, as they secured their first win of the campaign. Despite the win, Saint Martin remain at the foot of Group B on three points and in danger of being relegated to League C.

Saint Lucia continue to lead the standings on nine points, followed by Curacao (seven points), who edged third-placed Grenada (four points) 1-0 courtesy of Juninho Bacuna’s 30th-minute strike in the curtain-raiser of the double header.

Haiti didn’t have things all their way in an eight-goal thriller against Aruba at the Guillermo Prospero Trinidad Stadium in Oranjestad.

Five different scorers, Danley Jean Jacques (16th), Don Louicius (42nd), Duckens Nazon (66th), Fabrice Picault (76th), and Frantzdy Pierrot (89th), got on the scoresheet for Haiti, who have now netted 18 goals, the most of any team in the Nations League.

They continue to sit pretty atop Group C on maximum 12 points from four games, with a League A promotion well in sight. Aruba, who got their goals from Rovien Ostiana (14th and 20th) and Jayden Kruydenhof (78th), is on the cusp of relegation as they remain pointless.

Earlier, Puerto Rico, through goals from Gerald Diaz (45^th) and Ricardo Rivera (83rd), registered a 2-1 win over Sint Maarten in the curtain-raiser.

The win moved Puerto Rico into second on six points, with a slightly better goal-difference to Sint Maarten (six points), whose goal came from Quinton Christina (54th).

Saint Lucia and Haiti consolidated their leads atop their respective Concacaf Nations League groups following contrasting wins in their League B encounters on Friday.

Caniggia Elva’s late brace in the 76th and 90th propelled St Lucia to a 2-1 win over Saint Martin, who led for most of the contest courtesy of Axel Raga’s 30th-minute strike in their Group B clash at the Darren Sammy Ground.

The win moved Saint Lucia to maximum nine points from three games. Curacao and Grenada, who played out a goalless stalemate in the other group contest, sit second and third on four points each, while Saint Martin is still yet to get on the board.

Over in Group C, Haiti beat host Aruba 3-1 at Guillermo Prospero Trinidad Stadion.

Tyron Perret Gentil fired Aruba in front in the sixth minute, but Haiti responded through Frantzdy Pierrot (31st), and a brace from Duckens Nazon, who scored from the penalty spot in the 38th, followed by a 61st-minute close range effort.

The win saw Haiti move up to nine points from three games, three points ahead of Sint Maarten, who clipped Puerto Rico 3-2 in the other fixture.

Chovanie Amatkarijo (44th, 85th) and Imar Kort (49th) got the job done for Sint Maarten, while Rodolfo Sulia (2nd) and Alec Diaz (90+5) got Puerto Rico’s goals.

Puerto Rico remain on three points, with Aruba still pointless.
