TT Under-20s win warm-up match

The win was set up with goals by Central FC forward Nicholas Dillon in the 2nd minute and a double by DC United’s Taofik Lucas-Walker in the 21st and 34th minutes.

The result against the First Division Reserve League champions followed a 2-0 defeat to Panama’s Under 17 Men’s team a couple days earlier. TT started the camp with a 2-1 win over Leones de America Reserves at the Maracana Stadium.

Team head coach Brian Williams later commented on the performance of his side, describing the third match as a proper test for his bunch.

“It was a pleasing way to end the training camp. What I saw today was satisfying in many regards. We started off quickly with the early goal from Dillon and we kept our composure and intensity level up for a great part of the match,” Williams told TTFA Media.

“It was a good result for the team as well to come back from the loss to the Panama Under 17s on Saturday. For that match, I used the opportunity to give some of the non-starters and those who haven’t been getting much playing time the chance to get a run. We missed a penalty and a few decent chances on goal,” Williams added.

“But then the boys picked up their game and pulled off a much better performance today.

We have a couple days left before we head to Curacao and we will use this time to work on a couple things before the opening game against Cuba. We’ve worked on our shape and our organisation and the way we in which we’d like to defend as a team and move forward in attack as a unit. This training camp has definitely given us much needed time to get in the work before we head into the tournament,” Williams added.
