Match Report

The Male teams bowed into action on a bright and sunny Day 2 of the 2014 Central American and Caribbean Games, with an exciting Pool A match between Trinidad & Tobago and Dominican Republic which ended 4-3.

Trinidad’s hatrick hero, Tariq MARCANO got the opening goal in the 3rd minute but Dominican Republic stormed back and Jose LOPEZ gave his team the lead with 2 quick goals in the 6th and 8th minutes. Both teams were relentless in attack and defence and Trinidad’s MARCANO pulled his team level 2-2 in the 26th minute with his second goal of the match. Dominican Republic then lost 3 players to penalty cards and Trinidad took advantage of their numerical advantage with Nicholas GRANT putting his team 3-2 ahead in the 28th minute. The score remained unchanged at the end of the first half.

The second half was just as exciting as the first with both teams looking to increase their goal tally. Dominican Republic’s Francisco GARCIA got the equalizing goal with an exquisite tomahawk shot which flew into the top left corner of Trinidad’s goal in the 41st minute, to make the score 3-3. Both teams were clearly not content with a draw and it was Trinidad’s MARCANO who scored his third goal and ultimately the winning goal for his team in the 66th minute.
