A shock loss for T&T(FIFA.com) Monday 16 June 2008
The top teams in the North, Central America and Caribbean Zonestarted down the road to the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ thisweekend. And while most contests went according to the script orthereabouts, there were a few shocks, most notably Trinidad andTobago's 2-1 loss to rank outsiders Bermuda on home soil.
Of the eight Round 2 first leg matches played on Sunday,T&T's defeat was by far the most surprising. Withoutinjured Sunderland hit-man Kenwyne Jones, new boss FranciscoMaturana's Soca Warriors looked out of sorts from the start, and theyfound themselves a goal down after only eight minutes thanks to thepredatory instincts of journeyman striker John Barry Nusum.
After wasting a host of chances, the home side clawed their wayback after 22 minutes through all-time top scorer Stern John, butNusum silenced the Marvin Lee Stadium crowd in Macoya for good whenhis second goal, five minutes from the interval, sealed a historicwin for the Bermudans.
"It's an unbelievable feeling. I'm extremely proudof everyone involved," commented Bermuda boss Keith Tucker,who has described the current generation of Bermudan players as"one of the best in the country's history."
The USA had a far easier time of it in their game in LosAngeles, beating Barbados 8-0 in the rout of the round. ClintDempsey opened the scoring inside the first minute, and finishedwith two goals. Brian Ching scored three for the strollingAmericans, and Landon Donovan (playing in his 101st international),Michael Bradley and Eddie Johnson all grabbed goals of their own.It was the USA's largest-ever margin of victory, surpassing an8-1 friendly win in 1993 over the Cayman Islands.
"It's good to get the whole thing underway," saidUSA coach Bob Bradley. "We started strong and kept it going. Iwould call that a definite success."
Mexico struggle
The Americans' arch-rivals Mexico also won, but had a fartougher time against an inspired Belize in Houston, Texas.Arsenal-bound Carlos Vela opened the scoring in the 65th minutebefore veteran substitute Jared Borgetti sealed a nervy 2-0 winwith a penalty in stoppage time. "I said before the match, youcan't underestimate Belize. They defended well and gave us avery tough game," said Santos Laguna midfielder Fernando Arce."We'll need to do better in the second leg."
Canada entered the qualifying race with a simple 3-0 win overSt. Vincent and the Grenadines on the road. Ali Gerba, who came onas a sub in the seventh minute for the injured Rob Friend, scoredtwice after Issey Nakajima-Farran opened the scoring.
Elsewhere on Sunday, the Netherlands Antilles kept their hopesof reaching the group stages alive with a creditable 0-0 drawagainst reigning Caribbean champions Haiti in Port au Prince.
Panama entered the qualifying race with a simple, but hardlyemphatic, 1-0 home win over El Salvador, who were so impressive inthe first round of qualifying. "I am relaxed and satisfiedsince we still have another 90 minutes to play, and we are a verygood team at home," said Salvadorean coach Carlos de losCobos, while Panama boss Alexandre Guimaraes was pleased with theresult. "We did what we came to do," said theBrazilian-born Costa Rican.
Jamaica rounded out Sunday's action with a huge win, 7-0over the Bahamas. Luton Shelton scored twice while Ricardo Gardner,Demar Phillips, Marlon King, Andrew Williams and Omar Daley grabbeda goal apiece.
Saturday surprises
Honduras booked their passage through to the groupstage with a 2-2 draw against Puerto Rico in San Juan. Although theresult was a surprise, the 4-0 edge they had from the first leglast week made the aggregate a fairly bloated 6-2. Puerto Rico,though soundly beaten, showed signs of tremendous improvement.
Costa Rica needed a comeback and even then could only manage a2-2 draw with Grenada. Patrick Modeste opened the scoring 20minutes in and Blackburn Rovers ace Jason Roberts made it atwo-goal lead seven minutes later before Armando Alonso cut thedeficit in the 42nd minute and Junior Diaz equalised, much to therelief of the visitors, in the 75th.
"We weren't as bad as the score suggests," saidCosta Rica coach Hernan Medford after the game. "We do need toimprove for the second leg."
Suriname pulled off a minor shock of their own by beatingneighbours Guyana 1-0 in Paramaribo. The Guyanese were one of the12 seeded teams in the region, but looked a shadow of themselves intheir first qualifier.
Domestic-based Clifton Sandvliet, playing in his 67th game forSuriname, popped up unmarked in the 53rd minute to grab the onlygoal of the contest and keep up the team's form aftereliminating Montserrat 7-1 over two legs in the last round.
Saturday's last match saw Guatemala give tiny St. Lucia alesson in finishing, winning 6-0. LA Galaxy striker Carlos 'ElPescadito' Ruiz grabbed himself no less than four goals afterFreddy Garcia opened the scoring in the sixth minute. AbnerTrigueros notched the other goal for the Chapines, who look in goodshape heading into their second leg on the island.
One first leg encounter remains as Cuba travel to Antigua andBarbuda on Tuesday. The all-important return legs take placebetween 18 and 22 June. |
