The CONCACAF Nations League knockout rounds continue this evening as Canada and Mexico, the top two teams, look to secure their spots in the semi-finals.
Mexico 4-0 Honduras
The scorers were: Jiménez 42', MartÃn 72', 90+7' (P), Sánchez 78'
Mexico came back strong and erased a two-goal deficit on aggregate, booking their spot in the semifinals.
It looked like El Tri's first-leg frustrations carried over to the second as they struggled to be clinical in front of goal. However, the dam finally broke just before the break thanks to a Raúl Jiménez goal that got the hosts rolling.
It took a while to find the second, but they did eventually when second-half substitute Henry MartÃn guided home a deflected cross to level the score on aggregate.
But the tie was won before the final whistle, thanks to a neat finish from Jorge Sánchez at the back post, which delighted the home crowd.
A late Henry MartÃn penalty was the icing on the cake of Mexico's thrashing, ensuring El Tri's place in the last four.
Canada 3-0 Suriname
The scorers were: David 23', Shaffelburg 30' and 67'
Canada booked their place in the next round with a comfortable win against Suriname in Toronto.
Two goals in seven minutes from Jonathan David and Jacob Shaffelburg respectively before the half-hour mark saw Jesse Marsch's side get off to a flying start and they didn't look back from there.
While they thought they should have scored a few more times, Shaffelburg kept his winning streak going with a second goal of the night, putting the home team out of reach and securing his first international brace.
The US beat Jamaica 4-2 in the other two matches that finished yesterday, so they're through to the next round with a total score of 5-2. Panama drew with its opponent 2-2 in regular time and knocked Costa Rica out of the competition with a total score of 3-2.
