By Rawle Toney
(Kaieteur News) – The Golden Jaguars continued their impressive start to the 2026/27 Concacaf Nations League on Sunday with a 2-0 victory over the Cayman Islands to make it two wins from two matches in League B.
Guyana’s Senior Men’s National team, which opened its campaign with a narrow 1-0 victory over Puerto Rico, produced another disciplined performance to claim maximum points and strengthen their position in Group A.

Guyana settled quickly and were rewarded for their positive start in the 15th minute when Liam Gordon broke the deadlock, giving the Golden Jaguars a 1-0 advantage.
The early goal provided Guyana with momentum, and they continued to threaten as they looked to extend their lead.
Their pressure was rewarded again in the 36th minute when Osaze De Rosario found the back of the net to double Guyana’s advantage, as Omari Glasgow proved both assists.
De Rosario’s strike was particularly significant after he scored the winning penalty in Guyana’s opening 1-0 victory against Puerto Rico, making him responsible for two of Guyana’s three goals across their opening two matches.

He also improved his international goal tally to 12 from 13 outings for Guyana.
With a two-goal cushion established before halftime, Guyana managed the remainder of the contest effectively, keeping the Cayman Islands off the score sheet to secure their second consecutive clean sheet and another three points.
The result leaves Guyana with a perfect six points from their opening two Group A matches.
The group also includes Puerto Rico and Dominica, with each team scheduled to play six group-stage matches during the 2026/27 campaign.
The Golden Jaguars’ victory also keeps them firmly in contention for the top spot in a competition that carries added importance this cycle.
The 2026/27 Nations League serves as the pathway to the 2027 Concacaf Gold Cup, with the four League B group winners earning direct qualification for the tournament.
Guyana will next face Dominica on October 1, before meeting the same opponent again on October 4 as the group stage continues.
