Panama down Golden Jags 2-0

  • by

It was a disappointing start to their FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign for the Guyana senior men’s national football team, the Golden Jaguars on Thursday night at the Rommel Fernandez Stadium in Panama City, Panama.
Taking on the hosts, Guyana’s starting XI of Captain Elliot Bonds, Goalkeeper Quillan Roberts, Leo Lovell, Terrence Vancooten, Jalen Jones, Curtez Kellman, Liam Gordon, Nathan Ferguson, Nathan Moriah- Welsh, Stephen Duke-McKenna and Omari Glasgow did well to keep the Panamanians at bay for the first 45 minutes, but missed some key chances themselves.

However, in the second segment, Cristian Martinez broke the deadlock in the 62nd minute with a goal inside the box, connecting on a pass over the top from Adalberto Carrasquilla, and Jose Rodriguez made it a two-goal lead for the hosts in the 65th with a one-hit finish on the other end of a service from Edgar Barcenas.
The Golden Jaguars will now turn their attention to a clash with Belize next Tuesday, set for the Wildey Turf, Barbados.
