Saint Kitts and Nevis
Striker Vinceroy Nelson scored on Wednesday in the 42nd minute a goal that was enough for Saint Kitts and Nevis to win with 1-0 to Puerto Rico on the first day of CONCACAF Qualifiers for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Sugar Boyz’s winning debut, at the same time, brought the credits to the Brazilian coach Leonardo Neiva, 43 years old, who came to the bank just 35 days ago, on February 17, from Clube Atlético Itapemirim.
The defeat of the Puerto Ricans made the premiere of Dave Sarachan, who led the United States team in the last stage of the campaign that ended with the elimination of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The 66-year-old coach was announced eight days after hiring his colleague Neiva.
Puerto Rico continues without defeating Saint Kitts and Nevis in the common history that today completed seven games and which is summarized in 5 victories for Sugar Boyz and two draws.
Coach Neiva’s students today played the role of locals at the Pan-American Stadium in San Cristóbal, 45.2 kilometers from Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic.
Nelson’s goal, which turned 25 on January 10, raised the San Cristobal team to the top of Group F, which Teams from the Bahamas, Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago complete the selections.
The first day, when the Bahamas will have a holiday, will end on Thursday, with the match in San Cristóbal de Trinidad and Tobago against Guyana.
The second departure from Saint Kitts and Nevis will be this Saturday in the payments of the debutant team from the Bahamas, Thomas Robinson Stadium, from Nassau.
Puerto Rico and Sarachan will have the opportunity to go on Sunday, when they will host Trinidad and Tobago at the José Antonio Figueroa Stadium in Mayagüez.
