A stoppage-time goal from Germaine Garrette sealed a 2-1 victory for Guyana over Cuba in their final scheduled group fixture at the CONCACAF Boys’ U-15 Championship.
The win, which came after an opening goal from Mark Glasgow, capped off a resilient performance from the young Guyanese side in Aruba.
Guyana took the lead in the 22nd minute when Glasgow found the back of the net. Garrette emerged as the hero in the second minute of first-half stoppage time to give Guyana a lead they would not relinquish.
This win marks Guyana’s second consecutive victory in the tournament.
The team showed remarkable spirit to rebound after a difficult start, which saw them suffer a 5-0 defeat to group winners Puerto Rico in their opening match.
On Wednesday, they bounced back with a convincing 3-1 win over the Cayman Islands before securing this final victory against Cuba.
While the two consecutive wins showed the team’s fighting spirit, it was not enough to secure the top spot in the group.
As the four group winners from League B will advance to the semifinals, Guyana will now prepare for one final placement match to determine their overall standing in the competition.
