GUYANA’S campaign in the CONCACAF U15 boy’s football championship came to a halt on Friday after they were thrashed in their playoff outing with Dominican Republic in Aruba on Friday.
The Guyanese lost 6-nil to their Latin American counterparts. After the group stage was played, the teams that do not advance to the semi-finals were ranked based on their final position in their groups to determine the playoff matches of the 2025 CONCACAF Boys’ Under-15 Championship regulations.
While on Thursday Guyana secured a second-place finish in the group with a 2-1 win over Cuba in Group C narrowly missing out on a semifinals spot.
In their clash with Cuba, younger brother of senior Golden Jaguars star Omari Glasgow, Mark scored the opener in the 22nd minute using his superior pace beating a couple of defenders before smashing a low shot into the net.
The Golden Jaguars then doubled the lead in injury time of the first half 35+2’ off a corner kick which Germine Garrett converted inside the box.
Cuba responded in the 39th minute of the 70 minutes contest as Guyana’s keeper Matthew Gajadar mishandled a free kick which Cuba’s Erick Grotestan made him pay for with his side first goal as they loss 2-1.
Earlier this week Guyana opened their campaign with a loss to Puerto Rico 5-nil before they found their footing with a defeat Cayman Islands 3-1.
