In the second half, the Dominica Senior Men’s National Team had to withstand an early wave of pressure from the Turks and Caicos team. After some time, the team were able to turn things around.
Javid George showcased his performance as a substitute and made an immediate impact, getting the important second goal in the 61st minute to calm the nerves on the bench. Even after rain, there was a drop in the quality of play; Dominica was able to hold on in the end to secure the 2-nil win.
The victory in the match has once again made Dominica top Group C of League C. The team secured the 10 points and, more importantly, will be promoted to League B of the CONCACAF Nations League next year.
