In a commanding performance on Thursday, Suriname triumphed over El Salvador with a resounding 4-0 victory in the CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers, edging closer to securing their first-ever spot in the prestigious tournament. The match, held in Paramaribo, saw Richonell Margaret shine with two rapid-fire goals in the 74th and 76th minutes, cementing Suriname’s dominance. Earlier, Tjaronn Cherry opened the scoring with a penalty kick in the 44th minute, while Dhoraso Moreo Klass added a final goal in the 83rd minute. With this win, Suriname remains undefeated in Group A, tied with Panama at nine points but holding a superior goal difference. The team will face Guatemala next Tuesday, while Panama hosts El Salvador. Twelve teams across three groups are competing for three direct spots in next year’s World Cup, with the United States, Canada, and Mexico already qualified as co-hosts. Suriname, a founding member of CONCACAF in 1961, is making its first appearance in the final round of qualifying since 1978. Meanwhile, El Salvador’s fourth consecutive loss eliminates them from contention. In other qualifiers, Curacao delivered a stunning 7-0 victory over Bermuda, with Jordi Paulina scoring twice, and Nicaragua upset Honduras 2-0, leaving Group C undecided heading into the final round.
