Caribbean Cup Football…Guyana lose to Grenada 1-2; French Guiana eyes finals

Nov 18, 2012 Sports

 

St. George’s, Grenada – In the feature game of a doubleheader on the second day of Caribbean Cup football action at the Grenada National Stadium, the home team ‘Spice Boys’ defeated Guyana 2-1 to snap a 5-game losing streak as they moved closer to qualifying for the finals, knocking Guyana out of contention.
Clive Murray scored in the 81st minute to compliment Kithson Bain’s 46th minute goal, young ‘Golden Jaguar’ Daniel Wilson scored for his country in the 48th minute in a losing effort.
The win was Grenada’s first since a 4-1 World Cup qualifying victory in October 2011, and only its second over 19 games in nearly two years.
Guyana will face French Guiana in their final game today at the same venue with the French only needing a draw to advance to the Caribbean Cup finals for the first time since 1995. In the other game today, Grenada will face Haiti for the fourth time in their history, with the Haitians having won all three previous meetings.
In the first game on Friday, Gary Pigree scored for a fourth straight game and French Guiana moved within sight of the Caribbean Cup finals with a 1-0 victory over the highly rated Haiti.
French Guiana will start the final day of the group atop second-round qualifying Group 6 with four points, one ahead of Haiti. Guyana, which lost its second straight and has no points, was eliminated.
Two teams will advance to the Caribbean Cup finals in Antigua & Barbuda in December. Four teams will qualify from the Caribbean Cup for next year’s CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Pigree’s goal in the 55th minute was his seventh in four games in the past five weeks of Caribbean Cup qualifying and ended Haiti’s five-winning streak.
