8 corners for Belize against 2 for Yana Dòkò slightly dominated in possession. This is in summary the first half, concluded with a goalless draw 0 to 0. It must be said that the Guyanese game, carried forward by Nozile, Vancaeyezeele and Colino, forced the host country to evolve in low block and proceed with a counter attack. In this configuration, Belize offered itself the best opportunities in the first 45 minutes.

After the break, the recovery is more difficult for Yana Dòkò. But it took a generous penalty for Bélize to open the scoring in the 67th minute, by Carlos Bernardez.
Eight minutes later, the same attacker took advantage of a missed shot from his teammate Jordy Polanco to make it 2/0.
Far from having given up, on a corner from Captain Vancaeyezeele, Thomas Torvic placed a furious header to reduce the gap one minute from the end of the match.
The final score of 2 goals to 1 will thus be in favor of Belize, with despite everything the feeling of a mission accomplished for the 14 Yana Dòkò, hastily summoned and arrived on Belizean soil only a few hours before kick-off of this first leg.
The return match will take place on Tuesday November 19 in Paramaribo, Suriname.
