GDF FC eliminated from CFU Club Shield after loss to Moca FC

Jul 29, 2025 Sports

Moca FC yesterday recorded a 1-0 win over the Guyana Defence Force at the Larry Gomes Stadium in Trinidad and Tobago.

Kaieteur Sports – The Guyana Defence Force Football Club (GDF FC) were eliminated from the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Club Shield following a 1–0 defeat to Moca FC yesterday at the Larry Gomes Stadium in Trinidad and Tobago.

With both sides needing a win to progress to the next round, it was the Dominican Republic outfit that emerged victorious after scoring the lone goal in the first half at the Arima venue.

GDF FC had opened their Group B campaign with a 2–0 victory over St. Paul’s United of Antigua, while Moca FC edged French Guiana’s Étoile Matoury 1–0 in their opening fixture.

With only the group winners advancing to the next round, yesterday’s clash was crucial for the defending GFF Elite League champions. However, despite disciplined defending, GDF struggled in the attacking third, lacking creativity and clinical finishing.

Head coach Joseph “Bill” Wilson was unable to find a tactical solution to break down Moca’s solid defensive setup.

Forward Chris Macey, who netted in the opening match, looked the most dangerous for the Camp Ayangana-based side but was effectively neutralized.

Macey was starved of quality service, forcing the pacey striker to drop deep and create his own chances. Tryonn Babb had a few bright moments but failed to make them count.

GDF FC will now return to Guyana to resume their campaign in the GFF Elite League, where they currently sit fourth on the table, trailing league leaders Slingerz FC, second-placed Western Tigers, and the Guyana Police Force FC. (Rawle Toney)
