MIAMI (AP) -- Mauricio Molina's goal with 12 minutes remaining enabled Colombia to gain a 1-1 tie with Guatemala on Thursday night and win its round-robin group of the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Colombia, the Group B winner, will play in Saturday night's quarterfinals at the Orange Bowl against the Group A runner-up.

Guatemala was eliminated, moving Jamaica into a Sunday quarterfinal against Mexico in Mexico City.

In Thursday's late Group A match, Mexico settled for a scoreless draw against Honduras, doing just enough to clinch first-place in Group A and advance to the quarterfinals.
