The second round of the group stage was tough on the favorites at the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup. In Group A, Costa Rica is the heavyweight team, but had to fight back from a goal down to secure a tie with Canada. Honduras is technically the top seed in that group, but was held to a scoreless draw by a defiant (on and off the pitch) French Guiana. In Group B, the USA was cruising to a multi-goal win until Martinique scored twice to tie the match; USMNT snatched the lead back and held on for a 3-2 victory.
