Guyana’s participation in the CONCACAF Men’s Under-20 Champions will continue today, Thursday, November 8 at the IMG Academy in Florida when they take on Curaçao in search of their first victory.
This Group F encounter is billed as an intriguing one with both sides in must-win situations after losing their first two encounters, which has placed them at the bottom of the Group.
Jaguars were drilled 4-nil in the opening match against Guatemala, then suffered a heart-breaking 3-2 loss at the hands of Cayman Islands on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, their opponents, Curaçao, were defeated 2-1 by the Group leader, El Salvador, and second-place holder, Guatemala, 3-1. Cayman Islands, with only one win, occupy the third-place spot in the Group.
It has already become a task for Guyana and Curaçao to advance to the second round since they have no points, prior to contending their penultimate Group match.
Guyana’s final match will be against the rampant El Salvador team on Saturday. They are undefeated in three matches following their win over Guatemala to gain control of the Group. That match is scheduled for a 19:45h start.
Today’s showdown will kick off at 12:45h.
