There was no news in the respawn time, the referee pitched the final and Puerto Rico took the 2-1 victory against San Vicente y las Granadinas at the Estadio Centroamericano de Mayagüez. Antonetti and Echevarría gave the victory to their team.

Six more minutes will be played in this place. Puerto Rico seeks to hold the ball and keep it away from their arch, meanwhile, San Vicente and the Grenadines continue to struggle to look for some opportunity in the opposing area.

Strong clash of heads in the area, the game stopped for a few moments while they served one player from each team. The coaches, Charlie Trout and Ezra Hendrickson, took the opportunity to give their players a few pointers.

The minutes passed, but for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines time does not seem to run fast enough, they have not been able to react and play as they were doing before, you can see the despair to step on rival field. The hosts remain calm with the ball in their possession.

GOOOOAL! GOOOOAL! GOOOOOAL FROM PUERTO RICO!

What a good way to get the advantage, appeared a center from the left that was with direction to the second pole, the striker dropped it for the arrival of Steven Echevarria who defined with right leg and first.

The visiting team is looking to get the ball back, they want to start creating outstanding actions, but they have not managed to overcome the barrier that the local defense has placed. Interesting the positioning of both teams.

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines continues to defend with much order, but Puerto Rico is being very incisive, very intense and remains in rival field. The locals put together an incredible play that had two key moments: shots with power, but no location and the visiting goalkeeper was impeccable.

The Puerto Rican goalkeeper is stopped for medical attention, and the players take the opportunity to hydrate themselves and approach the bench to receive some instructions from the coaches. The public continues to put on a great atmosphere.

THE VISITORS HAD THE ADVANTAGE!

After a good play that came from the left side, inside the area the ball appeared near the penalty point and in an attempt to reject it, one of the defenders of the local team was close to make an own goal. Headbutt ended in corner shot.

It’s a two-way match, but Puerto Rico tries to get closer to the other side, they are having good connections and an interesting mobility in the offensive, however, the mark that San Vicente y las Granadinas is making is being interesting.

The locals want to recover after the goal they received, try to send long balls, but end up giving the ball to their opponent and visitors take the opportunity to play out of the center of the field. The start promises and it seems that some more goal could come.

GOOOAL! GOOOOAL! GOOOAL OF SAINT VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES!

After a recovery in the middle of the field, the visiting team took advantage of the deconcentration that had Puerto Rico and advanced with determination, they made a shot from the midfield, the rebound was inside the area and Oalex Anderson put the tie.

The teams return to the field, the visitors make the serve and go in search of the goal of the tie, they were left with the feeling of having been able to give more in the first half. However, the local team tries to take care of their area even though they are surprised in one of the first actions.

Puerto Rico takes a 1-0 lead over Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Leandro Antonetti scored the goal that is giving life to his team after a first half in which the home team showed a little more, but the visitor tried to react although he could not get it.

Three minutes of addition. Many fouls and the game is often stopped, both the home team and the visiting go to each duel to dispute the ball with everything. Nothing is saved and everything seems to indicate that we will have a great second time.

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines continue to seek equality, but Puerto Rico’s defenders are playing quietly, looking to expand the court and send short passes with determination to win spots. Good minutes of both before the end.

THE PUERTO RICO GOALKEEPER SAVES THE DRAW!

Kyle Edwards was called in, the referee gave the order and the player kicked the right stick, just where Sebastian Cutler threw to prevent a tie on the scoreboard. The whole stadium held it.

PENAL IN FAVOR OF SAINT VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES! 

After a communication error between the defender and the goalkeeper of the home team, the attacker of the visit took advantage to anticipate the play and ended up winning the foul within the area. The judge did not hesitate to collect.

The visitors want to have a little more initiative and protagonism, begin to climb the block that they have maintained since the beginning of the game, gain spaces behind the locals. Little by little it seems that the party is taking a different direction.

WAS CLOSE TO SECOND! 

Wanted Olympic goal Puerto Rico, they tried from the left corner, the defense of San Vicente y las Granadinas was attentive to get the ball on the line and clear the danger. Interesting moments are being disputed.

There are times when the visitors take the ball and want to go out playing calmly, they try to distribute the ball, find the spaces and make good plays that allow them to reach the opposite field. On the part of the locals, they keep calm in defense.

The medical corps entered to attend one of the local players, just the one who scored the goal, but it will continue without any problem. On the part of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines continue with the very low block, they are waiting for what their rival will propose.

GOOOOAL! GOOOOAL! GOOOOOAL FROM PUERTO RICO!

Great association, short wall between Gerald Díaz and Leandro Antonetti who remained with the profile, the front bow to define with quality of left leg to the right stick of the visiting goalkeeper. The play started on the left and ended in the other sector.

The Puerto Rican selection insists, is looking with very good game and arguments the first goal of the commitment to a team from San Vicente y las Granadinas that does not manage to wake up or seek to enter into the dynamics with which it is played.

Very disputed match, but interesting the proposal of each of the teams. The locals are looking for good partnership until they find spaces and visitors seek to press with great intensity to get the ball recovery.

All ready in the stadium, the teams are already placed and the judge gives the order to make the kick-off. Puerto Rico is responsible for the first touch and in the attempt to step on opposite field, San Vicente y las Granadinas end up recovering the ball.

Despite their position, they have proved to be a dangerous team in attack, scoring 8 goals in the tournament, although their defense has been more vulnerable, conceding 7 goals. The Saint Vincent and the Grenadines coach, known as "El Estratega", has implemented an offensive approach that has paid off, especially in his last game. However, they will need to improve their defensive play in order to have a better chance of climbing the leaderboard.

They stand out for their solid defense, having scored only one goal in three matches, which has allowed them to remain in third position with 4 points. At home, they achieved a convincing victory, however their last outing resulted in a defeat.

The Puerto Rican coach, known as "El Mister", has shown a robust defensive tactic, but needs to improve the offensive aspect of the team to ensure more victories. With 8 goals to his credit, his attacking ability is remarkable, but consistency will be key in his next matches.

The Estadio Centroamericano de Mayagüez, is one of the most important sports venues in western Puerto Rico. Inaugurated in 2010 for the Central American and Caribbean Games, it has a capacity of more than 12,000 spectators and features a 400-metre athletic track and a FIFA Quality Pro certified artificial turf field.

Since 2018, it has been home to the Puerto Rico Sol FC club and has received constant improvements in its infrastructure, including executive booths, press room, digital display and irrigation systems. In recent years, the stadium has been the scene of international matches, such as the 2018 friendly match between Puerto Rico and Argentina, and official matches in qualifying tournaments.

Puerto Rico is on a losing streak, with no wins in its last five official games. The last victory comes from a friendly before the start of the heats, which puts pressure on the team led by Dave Sarachan to score three and stay in the fight for a spot in the next phase.

In contrast, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines arrive at a competitive pace, having won four of their last five matches.

As for the record between them, they have faced each other twice, both in 1996 during the Gold Cup qualifiers, with wins for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in both engagements.

The Puerto Rico national team is playing its last chance to hold on to a position that will allow it to qualify for the next phase of the playoffs. Currently, the Puerto Rican team occupies the third position in Group F with 4 points, being three units away from their closest rival, El Salvador.

For its part, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines comes to this meeting with the sole task of complying with its timetable, as its chances of overcoming this phase are nil. This result placed them in the fourth box of Group F with 3 units.

To advance, Puerto Rico has the obligation to win to tie El Salvador with 7 points and, in turn, the Selecta must fall against Suriname at the same time in the Salvadoran capital. Such a draw in points would give advantage to advance to Puerto Rico by the difference of goals.

Thus the moment was recorded when the players of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines were about to leave for the place where they will dispute the engagement.

They come in need of a good result after an uneven start in the heats. The Caribbean team has had difficulties to score points and improve in defense, so this duel represents a key opportunity to regain confidence and stay in the fight.

Davis - Burgin, Charles, Johnson, Lynch - Spring, Thompson, Anderson, Joseph, Pierre - Stewart

Continuing to show signs of growth in the region. With four points in three matches, he still has options to advance, especially if he manages to impose conditions as a local against an opponent who is not going through his best moment. Despite accumulating five games without winning, the boricua team has been competitive at home and will seek to take advantage of this date to get closer to the qualifying positions.

Cutler - Paris, Calderón, Cardona, Ríos - Idrach, Hernández, Rivera, Echevarría, Rivera - Antonetti

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is a typical representative of CONCACAF’s second platoon. After a disastrous start in the qualifying (defeats against Suriname and El Salvador), the team claimed victory by beating Anguilla 6-0. In addition, two friendly wins against Saint Kitts and Nevis and a draw against the British Virgin Islands stand out, results that raised the confidence of the squad.

In attack, the team shows effectiveness -2.1 goals per game- but in defense is still vulnerable (average 1.0 goals received). Despite historic victories over Puerto Rico in 1996, today the set looks less solid, especially away from home.

Although Puerto Rico is not among the strongest CONCACAF teams, its recent growth is evident. The team managed to stay in League of Nations Division B and had a positive start in the World Cup qualifiers, with a goalless draw as a visitor against El Salvador and a resounding 8-0 victory0 against Anguilla, which is unusual in its recent history.

In his third game, he fell for the minimum (0-1) on his visit to Suriname, thus accumulating five unwon matches. However, as a local he usually shows competitive performance, and the next duel against an irregular opponent could mark a turning point in his path.
