St Vincent and the Grenadines twice came from behind in the first-leg 2-2 draw on home soil, but Cornelius Higgins and Co. never trailed in Providence, despite a late rally from Guyana, who netted two goals in the final 14 minutes.

Cuba and Curacao, who were both scoreless in the opening match, exchanged first-half goals in Ciudad de La Habana.
