Guyana and Cayman Islands played to a draw in their Group D contest that ended 0-0 in the 2022 CONCACAF Men’s Under-20 Championship Qualifiers on Saturday, Guyana playing the final 32 minutes with 10 men due to a red card for Yohance Douglas.
The stars on the day were the two goalkeepers in action, as Guyana’s Ronaldo Blair and his Cayman Islands counterpart Leandre Mckay each made a number of big saves to secure a point for their side.
Sitting atop Group D at present are Nicaragua following their 7-0 triumph over US Virgin Islands. Keylon Batiz (7’, 25’) and Jareck Caceres (27’, 80’) each had a brace, while Widman Talavera (33’), Manuel Gutierrez (36’) and Darwin Corrales (84’) chipped in with one each.
Team Guyana are confident heading into today’s fixture
