Kaieteur Sports – French Guiana were denied the chance to tighten their grip on the Inter Guiana Games (IGG) futsal title last evening, after a spirited Guyana battled back to earn a thrilling 6–6 draw inside the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.

Entering the match confident after their opening 3–2 win over Suriname, the French men knew that a victory over Guyana would place the IGG Futsal trophy in their hands to head back to Cayenne.

Instead, French Guiana were drawn into a frenetic, end-to-end contest that now leaves today’s final game between Guyana and Suriname not only a must-win encounter for the home side, but one that will likely be decided by goal difference.

French Guiana came out firing, moving the ball quickly and pressing high up the court to disrupt Guyana’s early rhythm.

Dylan Edouard and Yan Brito Gomes were constant threats from the opening whistle, with Edouard breaking the deadlock.

Alessandro Ipiranga delivered a standout performance of his own, netting twice and causing repeated problems for the Guyanese defence. Just before halftime, Rodrigue Anawondoe added another, pushing French Guiana into a strong position.

But Guyana was far from finished. Anchored by the brilliant Quancy Fraser, who was undoubtedly Guyana’s standout performer with four goals, the home team clawed their way back with determination.

Dexter Milo and Jaden Harris also struck crucial goals, helping turn the momentum and forcing French Guiana to tighten defensively.

As the pace intensified, the match became a showcase of classic futsal, with every time one side seemed poised to pull ahead, the other found a reply.

In the closing minutes, with the game balanced at 6–6, both teams went for the winner, with French Guiana eager to secure the title, and Guyana desperate to keep their hopes alive.

Several late chances sparked roars from the crowd, but neither team could convert the decisive strike.

The result leaves French Guiana still in contention, though their path now carries added pressure. Despite scoring nine goals across two matches, they have conceded eight, holding only a slim +1 goal difference.

Guyana, meanwhile, face a straightforward but demanding task in today’s showdown with Suriname, since they must win, and win by at least two goals, to stay alive in the title race.

With everything still to play for, the IGG futsal title hangs in the balance. All roads now lead to the 10:00 am kickoff, where Guyana and Suriname will battle in what promises to be a gripping finale.

Director of Sport Steve Ninvalle and Vice Chair of the NSC, Cristy Campbell, visited the team after the game and offered words of encouragement.
