RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Guatemala extended their unbeaten run to seven matches with a 4-1 win over 10-man Trinidad and Tobago in a warm-up for their 2006 World Cup qualifier against Canada.
The Central Americans scored all four goals in the second half after Trinidad defender Marlon Rojas was sent off in the 22nd minute of Wednesday's match in Guatemala City for a second bookable offence.
Pablo Melgar, Guillermo Ramirez, Gonzalo Romero and Walter Estrada shared the goals for Guatemala while Conrad Smith replied for Trinidad.
Guatemala, who have never qualified for the World Cup, have lost only once since Honduran Ramon Maradiaga was named coach in March.
They face Canada in Vancouver next Wednesday in CONCACAF second round Group B which also includes Costa Rica and Honduras.
The top two teams qualify for the final stage of the CONCACAF qualifiers.
