Costa Rica and Mexico were the first two nations to advance, with both claiming wins in their first two matches to eliminate the Dominican Republic and Suriname. Costa Rica and Mexico face off on June 22 with the winner claiming the group and the loser finishing as the runner-up. The United States followed in advancing after beating Saudi Arabia 1-0. They will clinch the group with a win or draw against Haiti. They have a six-goal lead on Saudi Arabia in goal differential (the first tiebreaker), which means they likely will clinch the group even with a loss to Haiti.

June 22 update: The US beat Haiti 2-1 to win Group D. Saudi Arabia played Trinidad & Tobago to a 1-1 draw, which clinched the Saudis second place in Group D and accompanying advancement to the knockout stage. Mexico and Costa Rica tied 0-0, which meant Mexico won the group and Costa Rica finished second due to the goal differential tiebreaker.
