GUYANA picked up their first win in the 2025 CONCACAF Boy’s Under-15 Championship campaign on Wednesday in League B against Cayman Islands. Playing in Group C in Aruba, the match-up saw couple of red cards handed out for aggressive play with Guyana coming out on top in the clash 3-1.
In the contest Cayman Islands who were eventually reduced to 9 boys on the field would score the opener to push the Guyanese on the back foot nine minutes into the contest.
The Guyanese pressed their case with several chances going begging until Mark Glasgow found the back of the net in the 28 minutes to level the scores going into the half 1-1.
After the resumption, a near altercation between a couple of players from both sides saw a Cayman Islands player getting booked for mouthing off within ear shot of the referee and was duly given a straight red card reducing Cayman to 10 players.
Cayman woes amplified when one of their striker attacked Guyana upright with his spikes up and hit the local goal keeper and got another red for his team.
The resulting penalty saw Nyron Barrow bending one past Cayman keeper to make it 2-1.
A stoppage time strike from Germaine Garrette coming three minutes into second half would complete the rout to hand Guyana its first win in the Concacaf U15 championship 3-1.
Meanwhile on Tuesday evening, Puerto Rico continued their winning way in Guyana opening clash handing them a 5-ol drubbing.
Puerto Rico Captain Wilfredo Reyes was the star of the game with a brace and two assists in the win.
Puerto Rico got their scoring of the mark with tap-in from Troy Montañez in the 13’ before Marco Russo found the back of the net in the 39’ with a shot from within the box.
Reyes then recorded his second in 45’ after receiving a beautiful ball over the top and beating a defender to finish it.
He notched his brace in the 57’ as he used great skill to create space and finish off with a strong blast.
Russo put an exclamation on the victory with a brace of his own, scoring his second in the 68’ to close it out.
Guyana play again in Aruba later today against Cuba in league B group C.
