Santiago de los Caballeros Dominican Republic – 19th November 2024
National captain Glenson Prince came up with a number of crucial saves to help Dominica secure a valuable point against Antigua to book themselves a spot in League B of the Concacaf Nations League for next season on Tuesday evening in the Dominican Republic.
Dominica entered the match against Antigua in 3rd place on 3 points, but needed to avoid a defeat to avoid being relegated to League C.
Antigua started off the match and had Dominica under pressure in the first half, but Glenson Prince showed why he is one of Dominica’s greatest goal keepers coming up with a number of big saves to keep Dominica in the game.
Dominica themselves created a few chances but couldn’t convert and the two teams went into the half time break at 0-0.
In the second half it was more pressure from Antigua, and Dominica suffered a scare when Prince got injured and had to be stretchered off.
His deputy Jerome Burkard was called into action and the Dominican defense stood tall to see off the Antiguan threat.
The game eventually ended 0-0, just the result Dominica needed to keep their spot in League B.
Dominica finished the group in 3rd place on 4 points.
