DOMINICA SUFFERS TOUGH DEFEAT IN CONCACAF WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS
The support of the Guatemalan fans at the Doroteo Guamuch Flores Stadium was overwhelming, as their fans created a hostile environment, the likes the Dominican Team had never seen before.
The conditions also didn’t do the Dominica team any favours as the rains came and the temperatures dropped into the low 60’s right at kick off.
Guatemala got on the score sheet first after just 3 minutes of play when Alejandro Galindo pounced on some miscommunication in the Dominican defence.
The Dominican Team didn’t drop their shoulders and withstood wave after wave of attack from the Guatemalans, but another error in the back led to Dominica conceding again in the 28th minute with Allen Yanes putting Guatemala up 2-nil.
Dominica had a chance to cut into the lead but were denied a penalty shout after winger Troy Jules was brought down in the penalty box.
Dominica went into the half time break trailing 2-nil.
The Second half however belonged to the home team, and they scored 4 more goals.
Alejandro Galindo, Rubio Mendez, Jose Martinez and Jose Morales all got onto the score sheet as Guatemala took the match 6-nil.
Head Coach of the Team Ellington Sabin told a post match press conference that the team has to put the performance behind them and get set of the next encounter against Jamaica on Sunday at Windsor Park.

The Senior Men’s National Football Team suffered a major setback in their bid to qualify for the next round of the Concacaf World Cup Qualifiers as they went down to Guatemala in tough conditions in their opening match on Wednesday in Guatemala.
