Guyana to play final CONCACAF Nations League game against Jamaica tomorrow in Kingston

TRAYON Bobb netted a double while Callum Harriot and Matthew Briggs scored a goal each, to help Guyana to an exciting 4-2 win over Aruba in Group C of League B action in the 2019-20 CONCACAF Nations League (CNL) at the Leonora National Track & Field Centre last Friday.

Glenbert Croes opened the scoring in the second minute of the match to put Aruba in the lead, after Guyana’s Quilon Roberts made a bad judgement call.

Matthew Briggs picked up his first CNL goal off a free-kick opportunity in the seventh minute, levelling things up for the hosts.

Gregor Breinburg regained the lead for Aruba from a penalty opportunity in the 22nd minute, but Guyana tied it right before the halftime break, thanks to a long-range shot from Harriott in the 44th minute.

Bobb put the hosts in the lead (3-2) after slotting home his first goal of the match in the 53rd minute – his third goal of the competition – making him Guyana’s top scorer in the Nations League.

Bobb completed a double to hand Guyana a 4-2 lead in the 73rd minute.

Guyana remain in second place with the win and control their destiny to earn qualification to the 2021 Gold Cup qualifiers, but Golden Jaguars can no longer win the group due to Jamaica’s 2-0 win over Antigua and Barbuda on the same night.

Meanwhile, Golden Jaguars arrived in Jamaica yesterday where they face the Reggae Boyz tomorrow in their final match of the CNL.

Aruba will be relegated to League C due to the loss.
