GUYANA picked up their first win yesterday at the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) Under-15 Championship, when they defeated St Lucia in their final Group F action in the USA.

Playing at the world-renowned IMG Academy campus in Bradenton, Florida, Guyana entered the game against St Lucia after losing to Suriname 3-1 the day before, and opening the competition with a 1-1 draw against St Kitts and Nevis.
“The staff and players are happy that we were able to pull off a victory. It came after a difficult start, drawing and losing our first two games of the tournament,” head coach Bryan Joseph said after the side’s win.
Omari Glasgow scored the game’s only goal, as Guyana finished second in their group behind rivals Suriname, who are unbeaten in the tournament so far.
Up next for the Guyanese is a clash against Guadeloupe, which will be played tomorrow; the final day of the Championship.
Thirty-nine teams participated in the tournament, which is said to be the largest in CONCACAF.
