GUYANA’S senior men’s national football team, Golden Jaguars, crashed to a 3-1 defeat to long-time rivals Suriname, yesterday, when the two countries met at the Pierkhan Stadium, Nickerie.

Head coach Michael Johnson started with Akel Clarke in goal, Kelsey Benjamin, Walter Moore, Gregory Richardson, Clive Nobrega, Trayon Bobb, Quincy Adams, Sheldon Holder and Sherwin Skeete.

Guyana found themselves down 0-3 at the end of the first half, but they were able to pull one back through Benjamin in the second stanza.
The game, Guyana’s final training match before their historic March 23 clash against Belize at Leonora, was seen as important for coach Johnson as he looked to fuse the best local talents with his oversees-based pool in order for a positive outcome in their final CONCACAF Nations League qualifier game.

The training matches are part of the preparation for Guyana’s final CONCACAF Nations League qualifier against Belize at the National Track and Field Centre, Leonora.
