Sugar Boyz Seal Top Spot in Concacaf Nations League
St. Kitts and Nevis Dispatches BVI 3-1 at Warner Park
The St. Kitts and Nevis Senior Men’s National team maintained their position at the top of their group in League C of the Concacaf Nations League, when they defeated the British Virgin Islands (BVI) 3-1 at Warner Park on October 9.
The Sugar Boyz took the lead in the 25th minute thanks to a header from Malique Roberts, and doubled it in 12 minutes later with a thunderous strike from Gvaune Amory. BVI got one back at the start of the second half, but the Sugar Boyz put the game out of reach with an own goal from Ikyah Williams towards the end of the match.
Assistant Coach Commends Team’s Performance
Assistant Coach Austin “Dico” Huggins praised the team’s performance, highlighting improvements in their possession and patience on the field. “We worked hard on possession, keeping the ball and not making any unnecessary turnovers. We have to be more patient. We instill in the players that we have to be patient. So today we saw them trying to pass the ball around, but we still got to get a lot more movement going forward, breaking the lines, attacking the goal,” Huggins said.
Captain Julani Archibald Weighs In
Sugar Boyz captain Julani Archibald was satisfied with the three points, but emphasized that the team could have played better. “I think we didn’t play to the best of our ability. We could have played even much better since we were at home. But nonetheless, we got the three points and that’s the most important,” Archibald said.
Coach of the BVI and Captain Troy Caesar React
Coach of the BVI, Christopher Kiwomya, and Captain Troy Caesar, both felt that they could have gotten more out of the game.
