United States vs. Haiti, 7 p.m. (4 p.m.) – AT&T Stadium

UNITED STATES

Have qualified and will top the group with a win or draw against Haiti.

If the U.S. lose, Saudi Arabia would need to win with a goal-difference swing of seven goals to steal first place.

SAUDI ARABIA

Win: Qualify, almost certainly in second place

Draw: Qualify, as long as Haiti do not win (see Haiti section)

Lose: Cannot qualify

HAITI

Win: They have a couple of routes. Haiti qualify as long as Saudi Arabia do not lose to Trinidad and Tobago by five or more goals (which puts Trinidad and Tobago through). If Saudi Arabia draw, it comes down to goal difference and goals scored, and Haiti are through if they win by two or more goals. If Haiti win by one goal and goal difference is identical (e.g. 1-0, 1-1) then Saudi Arabia are second on head to head.

Cannot qualify with a draw or loss.

TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO

Win: Have to get the victory over Saudi Arabia, and they will be through if Haiti draw or lose. If Haiti win, Trinidad and Tobago must win by five or more goals to finish second on goal difference.

Cannot qualify with a draw or loss.
