TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO WOMEN ADVANCE TO FINAL ROUND OF WORLD CUP QUALIFYING

Prior to kick off, T&T just needed a positive result from their final group game against Guyana and a late equalizer from Lauryn Hutchinson was just enough for Kenwyne Jones and his charges to win Group F and advance to the CONCACAF W Championship.
At the end of the first half, Trinidad and Tobago was trailing 1-0 but they were quickly back into it after Maria Frances-Serrant won a penalty kick one minute after the game’s restart. Tobagonian Asha James continued her fine scoring form when she confidently stepped up to score the equalizer and the first goal by a national women’s team at the Dwight Yorke Stadium.
It seemed that T&T was in the driving seat until goalkeeper Kimika Forbes let in an extremely soft goal to give Guyana the lead in the 82nd minute which completely silenced the Dwight Yorke Stadium. Jones made a double substitute with about five minutes left, putting on Maya Matouk and Lauryn Hutchinson. The latter became the super sub as Hutchinson scored an equalizer in the 90th minute to ensure that Trinidad and Tobago has advanced to the Concacaf W Championship in Mexico.
