Match report
Suriname and Guatemala shared 0-0 in the CONCACAF Nations League, with a 0-0 draw after a match that ended as it began: 0-0. Suriname had the greater share of the ball and the clearer statistical edge in attacking output, but neither side turned its efforts into a goal.
How it unfolded
There were no goals to separate the teams, and the score remained level at the break and at full time. Suriname finished with no goals, Guatemala with no goals, and the match produced no goals overall.
The numbers
The gap in attacking activity was striking: Suriname recorded 13 shots to Guatemala's 2, and put 8 efforts on target while Guatemala had 0. That volume brought no breakthrough, leaving the draw to tell only part of the story of a match in which Suriname repeatedly tested the opposition without scoring.
Possession also tilted towards Suriname, at 61% against 39%. The corner count followed the same pattern, with 5 for Suriname and 0 for Guatemala. Yet the most telling defensive figure belonged to Guatemala: its goalkeeper made 8 saves, while Suriname's goalkeeper was credited with 0. Those figures underline how often Guatemala had to deal with attempts, and how rarely it forced a save at the other end.
