Trinidad and Tobago vs Guatemala 2015 Score Heats up Copa Oro
Mexico has met the United States in three of the last five finals but the El Tri have been experiencing a rough patch of late as they have been hit by some key injuries and came into this tournament riding a seven-match losing streak.
Joevin Jones’ teammates with the Trinidad and Tobago National Team saw firsthand Thursday night why Chicago is his kind of town.
It all starts tonight at 6:00PM on Fox Sports 2 with Trinidad and Tobago vs. Guatemala. Interchanges between Aubrey David and J.
All three strikes arrived in the opening 25 minutes, and captain Kenwyne Jones hopes his side can keep silencing the critics who continue to bring up the actions of ex- Federation Internationale de Football Association vice president Jack Warner. Tonight’s match versus Trinidad and Tobago is equally important for them as a win all but ensures another quarterfinal round, unless Mexico is dealt a shocking blow. They worked it into a corner, to which the aforementioned Bateau headed home a handsome cross from Khaleem Hyland in the 11th minute.
The Soca Warriors will have the golden chance to clinch a spot in the next round with a victory against the depleted Cubans. Cato simply dribbled around Jerez and tucked the ball into an empty net to shock the Soldier Field crowd. Elias Vasquez tried to win the ball, but Cato did enough to put him off, spinning off Vasquez and rounding the keeper to the right before rolling a right-footer into the open net.
There was a moment where it looked as if Trinidad and Tobago might go up by four when Atualla Guerra was put through by Joevin Jones, only to see his effort go just wide of the net.
“We had a chat and he’s not confirmed anything definitive [about his future]”, Herrera said in Saturday’s news conference, ahead of Sunday’s Gold Cup match against Guatemala. Carlos Ruiz scored in the 62nd minute after a nice flick on from Lopez.
The Soca Warriors were on the ropes following the Guatemala goal. The get-in price, meanwhile, is just $45. Ruiz ten years ago may have made that play, but he was a step too slow on Thursday evening. The 35-year-old forward opened his Gold Cup account in the 61st minute of Guatemala’s loss to Trinidad and Tobago. This effectively broke the link between the defense and forwards and made it tremedously hard for Guatemala to even get into the match or create viable opportunities. If Guatemala is to have any chance against Mexico, they’ll need elite performances from Marco Pappa and Ruiz, who is the all-time leading scorer for Guatemala, having tallied a total of 58 goals.
Close to 55,000 tickets have been sold for the game in University of Phoenix Stadium, according to organizers.
