LAS VEGAS: Firas Al-Buraikan found the all-important equaliser for Saudi Arabia to notch a 1-1 draw with Trinidad and Tobago on Sunday in Las Vegas, ensuring CONCACAF’s guests would advance to the knockout stage of the Gold Cup.

While the US won Group D with a perfect record, Saudi Arabia finished with 4 points to place second. Trinidad and Tobago, which have 2 points, would have leapfrogged Saudi Arabia for second with a victory.

Justin Garcia nearly put Trinidad ahead in the sixth minute of second-half stoppage time, but his point-blank shot from the centre of the box caromed off the crossbar.

Al-Buraikan’s tying goal also involved the woodwork. Saleh Al-Shehri received a pass down the centre lane, dribbled around one defender and watched his ensuing shot hit the crossbar and stay out of the net. Al-Buraikan ran in to collect the ball and tap it behind goalkeeper Marvin Phillip.

Dante Sealy staked Trinidad to a 1-0 lead in the 10th minute on a left-footed rocket from outside the box.

Nawaf Al-Aqidi made two saves for Saudi Arabia.

Mexico 0, Costa Rica 0

Santiago Gimenez’s apparent goal for Mexico four minutes into second-half stoppage time was overturned by VAR decision as he was ruled offside as the Group A squads finished with a scoreless draw.

Costa Rica and Mexico each won two matches and lost one for seven points to finish atop Group A. The Dominican Republic and Suriname each drew twice and lost once for one point after their scoreless draw on Sunday night.

Mexico had more shot attempts, 13-5, and recorded the only four shots on goal. While Mexico were whistled for 14 fouls, Costa Rica were issued five yellow cards.

Costa Rica goalkeeper Keylor Navas made four saves, while Mexico’s Angel Malagon also had a clean sheet without making a save.
