Trinidad and Tobago suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to Bermuda in World Cup qualifying for the CONCACAF region Friday while Canada romped to a 7-0 win in St. Lucia. Trinidad, who qualified for the 2006 World Cup finals in Germany, continued its miserable decline with a loss to opponents ranked 187th in the world. Second half goals from Antwan Russell and Nahki Wells put Bermuda 2-0 up and although Kevin Molino scored for the visitors nine minutes from the end it was too late to stop the embarrassing loss for German Otto Pfister's team. Bermuda has never made it close to qualifying for a World Cup and indeed has never even made it to the regional CONCACAF Gold Cup. The defeat puts Trinidad at risk of failing to reach the third round of qualifying when the major regional powers, including Mexico and the United States, join the fray. Guyana moved above Trinidad to the top of Group B after they enjoyed a 2-0 win away to Barbados with late goals from Anthony Abrams and Chris Nurse securing the win for the Golden Jaguars. Panama recorded a 5-0 win at Dominica with Amir Waithe scoring twice while El Salvador were made to fight for the three points in the Dominican Republic – a 67th minute goal from Mark Blanco grabbing the win. Neymar strikes for Brazil Neymar rescued 2014 World Cup hosts Brazil in a tougher-than-expected friendly with Costa Rica scoring the only goal against the run of play in a 1-0 win Friday. The 19-year-old forward scored his eighth goal in 14 matches for Brazil from close range, converting substitute Daniel Alves's cross in the 60th minute. Neymar also hit the crossbar with a shot from outside the box in 72th minute, just before being replaced by Hulk. Costa Rica finished the match with 10 players after Heiner Mora was shown a straight red card.
