2009 Pan American Cup (Men) / Copa Panamericana (Hombres)

(5-8) Trinidad & Tobago - Brazil : 9-0
(5-8) Mexico - Uruguay : 9-0

(5-8) Trinidad & Tobago - Brazil : 9 - 0

The pace of the cross-over game between Trinidad & Tobago suffered from the blazing heat of the Chilean summer afternoon. The Brazilians players seemed still tired from their intense game against Chile, and the final result was never in doubt. The Trinidadians scored four goals in first period, and cruised without exerting themselves too much to a 9-0 final score, with 4 penalty-corner goals for Kwan Browne and six different players finding the back of the net.

(5-8) Mexico - Uruguay : 9 - 0

The second cross-over followed the same pattern of play, with the Mexicans having near total control of the play. The Uruguayans limited their ambitions to defending and were never in a position to score their first goal of the competition, while Mexico scored three in first period.

Play became unnecessarily rough in second period and did not offer a very exciting display of hockey to the spectators. Mexico missed a number of scoring opportunities, but still scored six more goals (with a hat-trick for Leopoldo RIOS) for a win that put them in the 5th-6th place match against Trinidad & Tobago.
