Demar Phillips was the difference between the sides, scoring in the 65th and 78th minutes to hand the Caribbean champions the win.

After being frustrated for over an hour, the Reggae Boyz finally broke the deadlock when Phillips coasted into the penalty area and past Jonathan Lopez before finding the net.

Phillips had his second 15 minutes later when he turned home Dane Richards' cross.

Guatemala held on for the final 20 minutes with 10 man after Cristian Noriega was sent off for a second caution.
