The Golden Jaguars U16 had a nightmare debut in the UEFA Assist Friendly Tournament, losing 9-1 to hosts Bosnia & Herzegovina yesterday.
It was Guyana’s first ever appearance at any age group European competition and their starting XI consisted of Shemaiah Samuels, Shakeem Welcome, Matrim Martin, Brandon Khedoo, Jayden Culley, Bryan Wharton, Elon Anderson, Gerry-Mayer Burnette, Swade Edwards, Seon Cato and Kvist Paul.
Guyana’s lone conversion came off the head of second half substitute Christopher Whitter. It was the first goal ever recorded by a Golden Jaguar in a European tournament. The Guyanese will turn their attention to Lithuania tomorrow. They will conclude their campaign against Montenegro on Sunday.
