The Golden Jaguars, Guyana’s national men’s football team, suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of neighbouring Suriname yesterday at the National Track & Field Centre in Edinburgh, West Coast Demerara.

In fact, the defeat ruined the Golden Jaguars return to action on home soil and spoilt their debut in the Concacaf Nations League A.

Playing in front of a sparse crowd but vocal crowd, the Guyanese side, even though boosted by the return of Terrence Vancooten in defence, would fall behind in the 18th minute as defender Djevencio Van Der Kust put the visitors ahead.
