Guatemala finally
captured the country's
first-ever Central
American championship 3 June, defeating Panama 3:1 in the
final match of the final
round of the 2001 UNCAF Copa de
Naciones in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
At times playing with more heart than
technical skill, Guatemala used first-half
goals from Dwight Pezzarossi and Mario
Acevedo to forge a lead, then after Jorge
Dely Valdes caused a tense final period for
the Guatemalans, Fredy Garcia sealed their
title with the third just before full time.
With the victory, Guatemala finished
off the final round in unbeaten fashion,
opening with a scoreless draw against El
Salvador before defeating Costa Rica and
Panama to end with seven points.
Guatemala had finished as runner-up in
the last three editions of the Central
American championship.

FC REFEREES IN CONMEBOL
WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS
As part of the referee
exchange program with
other confederations, FC referees recently had the experience of officiating matches in
South American qualifying.
For the Paraguay-Chile match on 2
June in Asuncion, Rodrigo Badilla led a
Costa Rican team, with Jose Barrantes and
Erick Mora assisting, Olger Mejias serving
as the fourth official. Antonio Marrufo of
Mexico ran the center for the Peru-Ecuador
match in Lima the same day, with Hector
Delgadillo and Victor Osorio assisting and
Gilberto Alcala as the fourth.
In later months, more FC referees will
preside over World Cup qualifying matches
