The Men’s Senior National Football Team suffered a heartbreaking defeat, as they went down to French St Martin in their opening match of the Concacaf Series at the St Kitts
and the Nevis Football Association’s Technical Center on Wednesday in St Kitts.
Dominica started the game strongly but failed to capitalize on their opportunities.
Striker Troy Jules had a penalty effort saved, and Dominica missed the few other chances
they got in the first half.
The Dominican goalkeeper Jerome Burkard was brilliant in the first half, coming up with several key saves to keep St Martin at bay. The two teams went into the interval at 0-0.
In the second half, Dominica came out firing, and Troy Jules pounced on a loose ball to put
Dominica in front after the restart.
Dominica again failed to put the game away and squandered their chances in the second
half, and they were made to pay for their missed opportunities as St Martin managed to get 2 goals in the last 10 minutes of the match to walk away with the 2-1 win.
Dominica will play its next game on Saturday, November 15th, against Dutch Sint Maarten.
