The Martinique team surprised by defeating El Salvador 2-1 at the DRV PNK Stadium for the first date of Group C of the 2023 Gold Cup.

The Caribbean took advantage of two defensive errors by the Selecta on two occasions. The first goal came at 11′ when the Martinique team counterattacked following a bad pass from the defense and Patrick Burner received, ran unmarked and ended up crossing it with his left foot, a shot that was impossible for goalkeeper Romero.

Five minutes later, following another bad start from El Salvador, the Caribbean did not forgive and increased the advantage. Fortune defined the three-finger crossed and made it 2-0 for Martinique at the DRV PNK Stadium.

In the add-on, Martinique was left with one less player (48′) because Jonathan Rivierez was expelled from the match for a hard tackle on Leonardo Menjívar.

Despite having a numerical advantage for more than 40 minutes, El Salvador was unable to react and close the gap. Even at 83′, Jairo Henríquez missed a penalty following a great save by Clementia, goalkeeper and hero of Martinique. La Selecta discounted 90+4′ from the penalty mark with a score by Bryan Tamacas, but did not adjust it to equalize the match.
