At the other end, Kieron Lake had a good rip from long range in the 53rd minute, but it was punched away by Dominica’s Goal Keeper Glenson Prince.
It was Guishard who finally found the equalizing goal in the 56th minute, blasting a right-footed effort past Prince from 12 yards out.Dominica pushed hard for a winner, but the Anguillan defense held firm to earn a second consecutive draw.
