Dominica suffers defeat to Guyana

Despite the defeat, captain Marcus Bredas identified the team's ability to  create scoring opportunities and finally get on the scoresheet as positives to  take from the encounter. 

Speaking to the media after the match, Bredas admitted that the team lacked  discipline following Guyana's opening goal. 

"After the first goal, you can see the boys, they lack a bit of discipline, and  that's what happened," the captain said. 

With Dominica set to face Guyana again on Sunday, Bredas stressed the  importance of returning to the training ground, addressing the team's  shortcomings and preparing for the next encounter. 

"The game has passed, so we have to go back on the training ground, fix what  we have to fix and hopefully come out and be victorious in the next match," he  stated. 

Despite the heavy defeat, the captain remained encouraged by Dominica's  attacking efforts, particularly the team's first goal of the competition. 

"Obviously, the goal, because that is our first goal in the League itself. So, I  mean, that is a big positive. We can score goals, but also we can score a bit  more," Bredas explained. 

He also pointed to the team's improved ability to create chances but  acknowledged that Dominica failed to make the most of those opportunities. 

"I think that is the positive. We created more," he added.

Dominica will have little time to dwell on Thursday's result, with the two teams  scheduled to meet again on Sunday. The Bouyon Boyz will be looking to make  the necessary adjustments and produce a better performance in their next  encounter. 

Bredas reiterated that the team must put the defeat behind them and focus on  securing a positive result in the return fixture.  

Dominica will play Guyana again on Sunday October 4th.
