The Men’s Senior National Football Team suffered a heart-breaking defeat, as

they went down to St Martin in their opening match of the Concacaf Series at the St Kitts and Nevis Football Association’s Technical center Wednesday in St Kitts.

Dominica started off the game strongly but failed to capitalize on their opportunities.

Striker Troy Jules had a penalty effort saved, and Dominica missed the few other chances they got in the first half.

The Dominican goal keeper Jerome Burkard was brilliant in the first half coming up with a number of key saves to keep St Martin at bay. The two teams went into the interval at 0-0.

In the second half Dominica came out firing and Troy Jules pounced on a loose ball to put Dominica in front after the restart.

Dominica again failed to put the game away and squandered their chances in the second half.

They were made to pay for their missed opportunities as St Martin managed to get 2 goals in the last 10 minutes of the match to walk away with the 2-1 win.

Dominica will play its next game on Saturday November 15th against Sint Maarten.
