GUYANA’s Golden Jaguars let a two-goal lead slip away, eventually settling for a 2-2 draw against host nation Martinique in their second match of the Concacaf Nations League on Monday.

Isaiah Jones put Guyana ahead with a brace in the first half, but Martinique fought back with a goal before the break and an equaliser late in the match.

The Golden Jaguars will need to improve their ability to hold on to leads if they hope to advance to the knockout stage of the Nations League.
Both teams lost their opening game of League A 3-1, Guyana to Suriname and Martinique to Guatemala.

Next up for Guyana is a clash against powerhouse Guatemala, likely in October.
Guyana is ranked 19th, Martinique at 11th and Guatemala at ninth.

The League A groups are as follows:
Group A: Costa Rica, Guatemala, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Suriname, and Guyana

Group B: Jamaica, Honduras, Trinidad and Tobago, Cuba, Nicaragua, and French Guiana
After Group Stage play in September and October, the first and second-place finishers of each group (four teams in total) will advance to the Quarterfinals, where they will join the four top-ranked League A teams (Mexico, United States, Panama, and Canada).
