Suriname and Guatemala played out a 1–1 draw in World Cup qualifying action on 10 October, with the hosts' attacking intent failing to convert territorial advantage into victory. Operating in a 4–2–3–1 shape, Suriname dominated shot count with 14 attempts to Guatemala's seven, registering five shots on target compared to their visitors' two. The home side's goalkeeper made six saves at an 80 per cent save rate, conceding exactly 1.0 post-shot expected goals, though unable to prevent the breakthrough. Guatemala's compact 4–1–4–1 defensive setup proved resilient despite limited offensive output, securing a valuable point away from home. The absence of goalscorer details reflects a tightly contested encounter where neither side could find the clinical edge required to claim three points. Both teams remain in the hunt within the CONCACAF qualifying group.
