Soca Warriors’ Andre Rampersad reduced the deficit after the interval, with 17-year substitute Dujuan Richards finding the back of the net for his first international goal in additional time. Gray took over as the player to score with style, and broke the deadlock on 14 minutes. A neat move involving Michail Antonio and Bailey was polished off with a fierce drive to the far corner.to fire home for a 2-0 lead on 17 minutes, breaking away and then picking his spot to leave Denmark-born goalkeeper Nicklas Frenderup rooted to the spot. Yet the Aston Villa ace had to wait to celebrate for VAR confirmation, as it was originally deemed to be offside.
The Soca Warriors mixed things up after the turnaround, with a trio of changes that stifled Jamaica’s free-flowing first-half display and there had obviously been a harsh team-talk from Eve. With the Soca Warriors finding their feet and rhythm, looking more like Eve’s teams that outwitted Jamaica in March’s pair of friendlies, Hallgrimsson altered his tactics. A double substitution on 62 minutes saw midfielder Daniel Johnson and striker Shamar Nicholson thrown into the fray for a shift from 4-4-2 to 3-4-3.
It was Phoenix All Stars Academy star Richards, who will join Chelsea on his 18th birthday in October, who made a name for himself by scoring two minutes into additional time. His effort took a wicked deflection off the thigh of defender Kareem Moses to register his maiden international goal to restore the three-goal lead.
