TIMES INT'L

After suffering defeats to Trinidad and Tobago (2-1) and the host nation (3-1), the young Guyanese turned up the heat on the Surinamese who had won their previous matches, needling SVG, then hammering T& T 3-0.
In a fierce game that saw a total of five yellow cards (Suriname 4, Guyana 1) and one red card (Jamaal Booker in the 89th minute), the Surinamese cantered into the lead in the first half when M. Darson breached Guyana’s defence and goalkeeper in the 18th minute.
It was a lead that the confident Dutch players enjoyed up until the 60th minute when Booker blasted the nets to draw the Jaguars level.
Scoring against the run of play added much needed confidence and momentum to the Guyanese offense.
Then Guyana were duly rewarded with a penalty in the 84th minute. Daniel Wilson made no mistake in converting for Guyana which took the lead 2-1.
Even with the eviction of Jamaal Booker with one minute to go to regulation time, Guyana was able to hold out for the win.
In the feature game, Trinidad and Tobago defeated the home team St Vincent and the Grenadines 3-0 with all the goals being scored in the first half.
