Second game set for tonight
CMC – Debutants Ezekiel Kesar and Kevon Woodley got on the scoresheet as Trinidad and Tobago defeated Guyana 2-1 in the first of two international friendlies here Monday night.
Playing at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Kesar put the hosts in front in the 28th minute before Woodley doubled the lead six minutes before the break.

Kelsey Benjamin pulled one back for Guyana almost immediately following the resumption, but the all-important second goal to level the encounter never materialised.
Despite the win, however, Trinidad and Tobago head coach Angus Eve said he was disappointed by the quality from his side, especially in the second half.
“I was disappointed to be fair. I thought it was a game of two halves,” said the former international.

“I thought in the first half we did what we really wanted to do, what we practised and we should have probably scored a lot more goals in the first half.
“And in the second half – I know when we made changes and we did play some younger kids – I was disappointed in the quality on the ball.”
T&T enjoyed plenty possessions in opening exchanges of the first half, but it was Guyana who nearly went ahead in the 26th minute, defender Robert Primus having to block Darron Niles’s shot.

Minutes later, however, T&T took the lead when Kesar ran on to the end of a well-weighted through ball to send his low finish in at the far post.
Kesar turned provider in the 39th minute to put T&T in command, teeing up Woodley who calmly finished at the near post from 10 yards out.
Guyana hit back in the 47th minute, Benjamin capitalising on a defensive mistake to easily beat substitute goalkeeper Adrian Foncette from close range.
The second friendly will be played Wednesday at the same venue.
