September 28 – Suriname moved to the top of Group B in League 1 of the Concacaf Nations League, while Honduras and Guatemala turned first round losses into second round wins.
Guatemala’s eye catching 6-0 demolition of El Salvador was the biggest surprise of the round and Honduras also secured crucial wins in Group B.
Having lost 3-2 to an added time goal in the 94th minute against Jamaica last Friday, the Guatemalans made no mistake at Estadio Manuel Felipe Carrera in Guatemala City.
Darwin Lom opened the scoring in the 8’ and Rubio Rubín doubled the Chapines advantage in the 28’. William Fajardo scored the first of his hat trick in the 32’. Jorge Aparicio scored in the 56’ with a right foot rocket inside the box, before Fajardo added two more on 89’ and in the second minute of added time.
The win immediately puts Guatemala back into contention for a quarter final slot at the half way stage of group play.
League A has two groups of six teams, with each team playing four matches against opponents of their group (two at home and two away) on a Swiss-system basis.
The top four teams from each group will qualify for the quarter finals to be played in the November international window.
The quarter final winners will qualify directly to the 2027 Concacaf Gold Cup, as well as the Nations League A semi-finals.
Suriname currently control Group B after their second win, a 2-2 victory over Martinique with goals from Justin Lonwijk and Gyrano Kerk. Boris Moltenis
pulled one back for Martinique in the 81st minute.
In the first round Suriname beat Honduras 3-2 with the help of a Honduras own goal.
The Hondurans then had what looked like a tricky trip to Jamaica who had sneaked a first round win with a goal in added time over Guatemala.
A new look Jamaican team, surprisingly without some of the biggest names and performers, looked like they could at least be the threat to match their perceived talent.
It was yet another false dawn for the Jamaicans who were overrun and outplayed by Honduras who scored the only goal of the match early in the first half through Keyrol Figueroa and never really looked like conceding.
It was the first win in 11 attempts for the Hondurans in Jamaica and was a crucial one for their Nations League and Gold Cup qualification challenge. In contrast, Jamaican look set to for more disappointment and even qualification for the 2027 Gold Cup looks like a stretch at the moment.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
