Quick Answer

Who is Curacao's penalty taker?

Leandro Bacuna is our current Curacao penalty taker call, with Jordi Paulina next in line if the order changes.

Curacao is now strong enough for a medium reviewed call. The official Bermuda qualifier report gave the first in-match penalty to Leandro Bacuna, then later showed Jordi Paulina winning and scoring another penalty in the same match. That makes Bacuna the clearest lead and Paulina the clearest challenger, even if the full order is not completely rigid yet.
