– valuable experience garnered despite 0-2 series loss
Despite being swept by the Trinidad and Tobago ‘Soca Warriors’ in their two-match international football series, Golden Jaguars head coach Jamaal Shabazz stated that Guyana’s recently concluded tour provided invaluable experience and insight that will shape the future of the locally based players.
This was disclosed in a press release from the Guyana Football Federation. The Golden Jaguars remain winless against Trinidad and Tobago in their previous meetings, as they lost 1-2 on Monday and 0-2 on Wednesday at the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain. Guyana’s dismal record reads: two wins, 17 losses, and seven draws.
Shabazz, during a post-match interview, said, “It is clear that player for player, we were able to match our opponents. Some boys gave a good account of themselves, and some were a bit nervous. Most importantly, the lads would have learnt a few lessons for their future, like the margin for error at the international level is small and the need for more composure in front of goal.”
