The sound of the Aruba official’s final whistle confirmed the historic moment as Guyana defeated Belize 2-1 in their final CONCACAF Nations League Qualifier to seal their maiden appearance in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
The monumental moment ignited wild scenes in the capacity stands and on the field by spectators, who wanted to celebrate with their heroes.
The aforementioned was realized following first half goals by midfielder Neil Danns and forward Emery Welshman, in what was the second meeting of the nations.
Golden Jaguars Captain Sam Cox during the post-match comment said, “I have been here for five years, I have seen the ups and the downs. I have seen things that people here don’t even know about but I tell you that every single person behind the scenes has worked their socks off. It starts from the President, it starts from the Gaffer [Manager], it starts from Ian Greenwood, what a fantastic job they’re doing off the pitch.”
