Much to the delight of the many fanatical football fans who came together last night to watch the match. The evening was organized by Marcel Menzo, the brother of national coach Stanley Menzo.

Beforehand, the tension was high, because in the group that Suriname is in, everything was close together. After four matches, all four countries had won once. Suriname was first with six points, with the same number of points as Panama.

One more match

Because Panama also won last night (2-3 against Guatemala), it remains very exciting in the group. Although Suriname has been given a little more breathing space due to the greatly improved goal difference. Next week Suriname itself will play against Guatemala.
