El Salvador see off Guatemala

El Salvador began their international friendly double-header with a 1-0 victory over Guatemala in California.

The match at the Home Depot Center was the first of two friendly encounters for both teams, with El Salvador facing Jamaica and Guatemala taking on Paraguay on Wednesday.
