The victory elevated Trinidad into a tie with Mexico for the group C lead.

Guatemala would have to beat Mexico by at least three goals on Thursday night to qualify for the quarter-finals.

In the opening match of a doubleheader at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Canada and South Korea played to a 0-0 draw in Group D play.

The result put Canada atop the group with two points. South Korea and Costa Rica share second place in the three-nation group with one point each.

Yorke set up Trinidad's first goal in the 26th minute.

Russell Latapy sent the ball to the tightly-marked Yorke in the penalty area and Yorke passed back to Latapy, who scored inside the left post from eight meters.

Yorke's second assist made David Nakhid's winning goal possible in the 52nd minute. After a run down the left side, Yorke crossed to Nakhid, who scored to snap a 2-2 tie.

Yorke completed the scoring in the 83rd minute, finding the goal from nine meters out.

Juan Carlos Plata and substitute Guillermo Ramirez scored equalizers for Guatemala only to watch Trinidad regain the lead within six minutes each time.
