St. John’s, Antigua (June 4, 2016) – Day 2 of the Scotiabank CFU Men’s Caribbean Cup 2016 saw Puerto Rico advance while Suriname, Guadeloupe and Dominican Republic all grabbed wins on the night.

But a late goal from Mitchell Kisoor in the 85 minute put Suriname on the scoreboard. Melvin Valigs then scored the winning goal for Suriname deep into stoppage time.
The Dominican Republic grabbed three points from Bermuda in a hard fought match 1-0 at the National Sports Centre in Bermuda. Jonathon Frias scored the only goal in the 27th minute to give the Dominican Republic victory.
Puerto Rico advanced to the next round by defeating the visiting Antigua and Barbuda team. Hector Ramos gave the hosts the early lead in the 6th minute. Antigua and Barbuda equalized through a strike from Dexter Blackstock in the 35th minute, ending the first half 1-1.
The score remained the same after regulation time, and then it was Ramos again. He scored his second of the night 25 minutes into extra time, giving Puerto Rico the 2 -1 victory. It was Puerto Rico’s second Round 2 win. The team defeated Grenada 4-3 in a penalty shootout after the sides were deadlocked 3-3 at the end of regulation time on opening day.
Dominica went down 2-1 to Guadeloupe with Elbert Anatoue scoring in the 23rd and Gilles Dan in the 64th for Guadeloupe. Julian Wade netted Dominica’s only goal in the 41st minute of play.
