    the team entering here was a Dutch Antilles selection representing the 
    N.A.O.C., the olympic committee of the territory.

13- 3 Guatemala       2-0 El Salvador 
        [Antonio Galan 78, Rub�n Aqueche 86]
        [match abandoned at 2-0 in 90' after a pitch invasion following a brawl caused 
         by El Salvador players; protests in San Salvador on the alleged mistreatment of 
         their players reportedly resulted in one death; the result apparently stood]
14- 3 Guatemala       n/p Honduras    
        [it was reported on March 14 that Honduras withdrew in solidarity with El Salvador
         but according to the March 15 edition of La Naci�n a match was played between 
         the two teams, Honduras winning 1-0; in any case it appears that this match was
         not considered official by the organising committee, which according to the
         Amigoe di Cura�ao (edition of March 18) refixtured the match for May 7; however,
         it was not played on that day either; the same newspaper reported on August 23 
         that Guatemala and Honduras had been due to play each other on May 17 but that
         the match had been cancelled]

 1.DUTCH ANTILLES  3  2  0  1   5- 4  4
 2.Guatemala       2  1  0  1   2- 2  2

 -.El Salvador     3  1  0  2   4- 5  2  [withdrew]

NB: it appears eventually Guatemala were ranked second and Honduras third;
    also at other sports there were incidents, resulting in Panama withdrawing from
    the wrestling competition and Colombia from the boxing events.
