 In 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification , El Salvador received a bye to the second round . There , they were drawn into a home @-@ and @-@ away round @-@ robin group with the Cayman Islands , the Dominican Republic , and Suriname . La Selecta won their first match , against the Dominican Republic , 3 – 2 with goals scored by Rodolfo Zelaya ( 54 ' , 77 ' ) and Christian Javier Bautista ( 63 ' ) , but left many doubts about their performance . El Salvador , however , convincingly won their next match , against the Cayman Islands , 1 – 4 with goals from Christian Bautista ( 50 ' ) and defenders Luis Anaya ( 63 ' , 80 ' ) and Xavier García ( 90 + 3 ' ) before winning the return leg against the Dominican Republic 1 – 2 . Although El Salvador received the necessary 3 points , the performance of the team was not as expected . La Selecta demonstrated more skill in their 4 – 0 in their home match against the Cayman Islands . The goals were scored by Víctor Turcios ( 5 ' ) , Steve Purdy ( 12 ' ) , Jaime Alas ( 44 ' ) and Herbert Sosa ( pen . 88 ' ) . The last was the 1000th goal scored in the history of the El Salvador national football team . After that , they easily won their remaining games to complete the second round with a perfect record of six wins in six matches .
