Kansas, USA: Guyana’s Golden Jaguars ended the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup by registering its first points in the tournament when they battled old rivals Trinidad and Tobago’s “Soca Warriors” to a 1-1 draw yesterday afternoon at the Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City.
Urged on by a near-capacity crowd which included a few dozen Guyanese and Guyana Football Federation President Wayne Forde and Executive Member Dion Inniss, the Guyanese proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that they belonged.
Neil Danns, the elder statesman of the Golden Jaguars at age 36 years, was again magical for Guyana when he broke the deadlock in the 54th minute with a well-orchestrated strike to beat Trinidad and Tobago’s custodian Adrian Foncette in the final match for both nations at the competition.
