MIAMI – The 2024/25 Concacaf Nations League continues on Sunday with Group A of League B on display at Estadio Cuscatlán in San Salvador, El Salvador.
Promotion and relegation will be decided as the final two matches are played in the group. El Salvador and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are separated by two points in the race for first place, which comes with promotion to League A and direct qualification to the 2025 Gold Cup.
Bonaire and Montserrat are just a point apart in the fight avoid last place and relegation to League C.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines vs. Bonaire
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines meets Bonaire in the first encounter of the day. The Vincy Heat is coming off a 2-1 win over Montserrat and could finish their tournament in a big way.
A victory would position the nation to finish top of the group depending on the result of the other match in the group later in the day. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines can seal at least a place in the Gold Cup Prelims with a win as one of the best second-place teams.
Cornelius Stewart and Oalex Anderson will be relied on to anchor the attack against a Bonaire side hoping to avoid relegation. Bonaire will be without star Ayrton Cicilia, who received a red card in the prior match.
El Salvador vs. Montserrat
La Selecta will have the final say regarding a potential return to League A, and the accompanying 2025 Gold Cup spot, when it meets Montserrat in the group closer.
This will be the fourth time these nations meet in CNL, with El Salvador undefeated in the prior encounters. Alexander Larín was one of the standout players in the 1-0 win over Bonaire on Thursday, completing 90% of his passes.
For Montserrat, Brandon Barzey leads the team with a goal and 11 shots in the current edition and will be a crucial player as the last-place team tries to avoid being relegated. Barzey scored against El Salvador the last time the two teams met in September.
