TONIGHT the Golden Jaguars approach one of their more-than-often ‘must win’ situations in the 2014 World Cup Qualifiers when they play El Salvador in the return match at the Guyana National Stadium from 20:00 hrs.

If the Jaguars wish to survive in this football jungle they need to go for the kill against this team, which can keep their hopes alive. However, Jaguars must also hope that Group B leader Mexico beat Costa Rica who is second so that they would remain on four points.
El Salvador is third with two points while Guyana has one point at the bottom. Guyana and El Salvador battled to an intense 2 – 2 draw last Friday night in El Salvador which gave Guyana that one point.
Yesterday in a press briefing with the representatives of the teams in the Conference Room of the Princess Hotel, they did not have a slug fest with words but rather disclosed what must be done on their behalf to reign supreme tonight.
Head coach of the Guyanese team Jamaal Shabbaz is confident that Guyana can win come game time because the squad has been working auspiciously and now have a lot to play for. Shabbaz noted that the Caribbean Representatives are few so it is not only Guyana who is behind them but the entire Caribbean people.
He said that playing El Salvador they learnt a lot, but sometimes, the teacher can learn from the student. The coach expects fierce rivalry tonight when the two teams collide; he also gave them props for their hospitality and fair play but noted that Jaguars is a very ambitious team and it is important to destroy the opposition.
Meanwhile, the El Salvador side was represented by their Head coach Juan de Dios Castillo who stated that the side plans to do their best against Guyana, in the hope of keeping their chances of progression alive.
Castillo disclosed to the press that talks were done with the team, in which they asked the players to be more responsible on the pit. The squad is focused to play a better match than their last to achieve the desired results.

Both teams are unchanged for this showdown.
