Trinidad and Tobago progressed to the CONCACAF finals of World Cup qualifying by beating Cuba 3-0 on Wednesday.
Trinidad needed only a draw to join the United States as qualifiers from Group 1, but Kenwyne Jones and Dwight Yorke scored in a two-minute span of the second half, and Keon Daniel's late strike helped to send the fans home happy from Hasely Crawford Stadium.

The Soca Warriors joined Mexico, Honduras, USA (2-0 winners over Guatemala), El Salvador and Costa Rica in the hexagonal stage which begins on February 11. The draw for that round takes place in Johannesburg on Saturday.
The significance of a slender but crushing defeat to the United States on November 19, 1989, was not lost on the big crowd as Trinidad and Tobago's Soca Warriors struggled to break down a spirited Cuban team on Wednesday night in their 2010 World Cup qualifier at the Hasely Crawford Stadium.
Local fans were just as curious about the score in the other Group One match between Guatemala and the United States. Had Guatemala won, and Cuba beaten T&T, then the Central Americans would have qualified for CONCACAF'S Final Round of 2010 World Cup qualifying.
“This is the match in which we have the possibility to certify ourselves one step closer.’
Those were the words of Trinidad and Tobago National Senior Team head coach Francisco Maturana on the eve of the closing match of the Semi Final Round of qualification for South Africa 2010 between the “Soca Warriors’ and Cuba..
Kick off is at 9pm and by many might be thinking that T&T should be celebrating another three points as easy as it comes by 10:30pm but Maturana, the coach with a long track record, isn’t taking anything for granted against the Cubans. View Warriors Gym Session
