Concacaf World Cup qualifiers, program, standings: Mexico wins; USMNT pulls El Salvador on Paramount +
The final round of CONCACAF, which qualified for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, kicked off on Thursday, but only one in eight teams was able to secure a victory. While there were draws in the USA against El Salvador (0-0), Panama against Costa Rica (0-0) and Canada against Honduras (1-1), Mexico managed to beat Jamaica with a winner in the 89th minute to move into sole possession of first place in qualifying.
After El Tri went up 1-0 in the 50th minute, they conceded 15 minutes later when Reggae Boyz fielded Estadio Azteca. But it was Henry Martin’s goal from the bench that gave Tata Martin’s men all three points.
Take a look:
With the win, El Tri now have a chance to take command of the qualifiers when they visit Costa Rica on Sunday night.
Paramount + is home to up to 79 matches (including away matches for USMNT) on its platform. Below you will find the full schedule and qualifying format for the World Cup for CONCACAF.

Last round (September 2021-March 2022)
The top five teams based on FIFA rankings automatically begin their World Cup qualifying campaign in the third and final octagonal round: Mexico (11), USA (22), Costa Rica (46), Jamaica (48) and Honduras (62). Participants in them will be the winners of the second round pair: El Salvador, Canada and Panama.
The third round of the CONCACAF qualifier began on Thursday, September 2, and ends on Wednesday, March 30, 2022. Each team gets a home game and an away game against all seven opponents. After the 14 match days, the top three teams in the standings beat their tickets to the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. The team in fourth place advances to the intercontinental playoffs, where it will either be paired against a team from AFC (winner of the playoffs in the fourth round), CONMEBOL (fifth place) or OFC (winner of the second round).
To rec, here is the key:
- Eight nations in a group playing home and away matches (14 matches)
- Qualifying matches played between September 2021 and March 2022
- The top three teams qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar
- The team in fourth place advances to the playoffs between the Confederations
