Golden Jags roar past Belize 3-1 to keep World Cup dream alive

Golden Jaguars

The Golden Jaguars, led by a second-half brace from Deon Moore, kept their hopes alive of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a commanding 3-1 victory over Belize last evening at the Wildey Astro Turf Stadium in Barbados.

The score-line is a pale reflection of the Guyanese dominance, as they rebounded from their hard-fought 0-2 loss to Panama in their opening group stage encounter.

The numbers don’t lie. Guyana, with an initial starting XI that comprised Quillan Roberts, Leo Lovell, Terrence Vancooten, Liam Gordon, Jalen James, Omari Glasgow, Nathan Moriah-Welsh, Stephen Dyke-McKenna, Elliot Bonds, Daniel Wilson, and Deon Moore, amassed 25 attempts, eight of which found their mark compared to their opponent’s five.
