Curaçao vs Panama: Storylines

Curaçao have had to make a big effort to reach this stage as they finished atop Group C due to goals scored, which gave them the edge over Guatemala who had also recorded 10 points. Meanwhile, Panama made it to this round in greater fashion having won all four games in Group D.

Therefore, Patrick Kluivert's team had the odds stacked against it ahead of the first leg. The hosts took the lead in the second half thanks to Alberto Quintero and Cecilio Waterman's goals, but Curaçao pulled one back and left the series wide open.

Once again, it could be expected that Panama claim the win or hold onto their advantage to advance, but there's still a lot to play for and Curaçao will have at least 90 minutes to turn things around at home.
