Guyana qualified for the semi-final stage in the Pan American Hockey Federation (PAHF) Challenge, drawing with top seed and group-A leader Brazil 2-2 in their final group fixture yesterday in Chicklayo, Peru.
Needing only a draw to secure their berth in the next round after a 14-0 win over Panama in their prior encounter and a 2-2 stalemate with Puerto Rico in their opener, the Guyanese got off to the perfect start as Aroydy Branford opened the scoring with a 12th minute field goal strike.
Guyana eventually maintained their lead going into the half time interval. However the Brazilians eventually levelled the score in the 42nd minute
