Santiago, Dominican Republic –The Dominican Men’s Senior National Football Team will now have to go back to the drawing board as they ended the Concacaf Series that continued in the Dominican Republic winless.
The team, which had gone down 2-0 to Guyana in their first game, had one of the better showings in recent times, but couldn’t convert on their chances as they played to a goalless draw with Sint Maarten.
In the first leg of the tournament, played in St. Kitts, they lost to Sint Maarten. Despite a 2-0 defeat against Guyana, the boys from the Nature Isle started strongly in the first half, creating pressure and chances.
They, however, suffered a major setback with first-half injuries to midfielders Briel Thomas and Dhamario Challenger. Still, the substitute players Eustace Marshall and Lyan Edwards kept the intensity going as Dominica clearly took the first half.
Dominica came out hard again in the second half and forced the Sint Maarten goalkeeper
into several saves with Audel Laville, Troy Jules, and Marcus Bredas all saw their efforts parried away by the Sint Maarten custodian.
Despite all the pressure, dominance in possession, and the number of shots at goal, Dominica couldn’t break the deadlock, and the match ended in a 0-0 draw.
It now means that Dominica has ended their campaign in the Concacaf Series with defeats to French and Dutch Sint Maarten in 2025 in St Kitts, and a defeat to Guyana and a draw with Sint Maarten in the Dominican Republic in 2026.
