 Hazy Crawford Stadium in Trinidad and Tobago. A rivalry steeped in history as both teams warm up for their Conker Kafe Nations matchups. Trinidad and Tobago take on Jamaica. As Trinidad and Tobago gets ready to face Canada on March 23rd and Jamaica gets ready to face USA on March 21st. Looking at the weather today, it's a scorcher, 30 degrees Celsius, humidity index 66% and wind speeds at 14 kilometers per hour. And while the weather graphic says that, we definitely need that water break during the game today. My name is Hans Devines, joining me on the pitch. Two men that can tell you about this rivalry, former Soko Aria, Brent Sancho and commentator, James Sonders. Guys, what are we in for today? It's Christopher Columbus time because it's going to be exploration for these teams. They're going to be exploring each other, exploring players, exploring possibilities because both these teams, of course, are preparing for what's ahead. TNs, of course, are coming up against Canada in the play-in for the Copa America, while Jamaica, of course, the Nations League semifinal, that's ahead for them. They're going to be looking to supplement their squads and this is what this fixture is about. Brent, when we talk about this fixture, well, when you talk about this fixture, you can't put the word rivalry next to it because as we all know, this is about being king of the Caribbean. So for both countries, the bragging rights will always be there. Yes, there is a situation where players are trying to get themselves involved in the last set of names that would be put forward to the Nations League games that they have. However, there's rivalry, there's bragging rights attached to this, so I expect this game to have a little bit of tastiness in it. Well, James, let's talk about the last few times these two teams met each other. Yeah, it's pretty close when you look on paper because when you look at your last three matches, Hal Hamkinson, his first few matches in Jamaica were against Trinidad and Tobago. He lost the first one, he drew the second one, but of course, when it came down to where the hooky really crumbled the crunch time, that's where Trinidad and Tobago fell woefully short. Four-one, so it might look even in terms of results, but that four-one is still going to be stinging Angus Eves' men because, of course, that knocked them out of the Gold Cup, quite attention. Well, you spoke about Angus Eves and the men under him. Let's talk about the line-ups today, Brent. Yes, some interesting calls and, of course, a lot of players that have not been capped before. Burns, a young player that played for AC Port of Spain, of course, exceptionally well. Kai Mo, someone that came in at the level at Club Sando. And, of course, Chavez Hamilton, another player that plays at Club Sando. So it's always good to see young men who have done well throughout the league season now getting, of course, this situation where they can play an international fixture. So I think that is where Angus Eves picked the squad based on what he saw during the league, and that has always come up with some of the players that we see in the starting line-up. James, you'll take all the players like Young Chavez. Yeah, you see she was in contention, of course. After a decent run on the under-20 qualifiers, where he scored two goals, he's a young player that's promising Angus Eves. He's been pointed three players from that under-20 squad that he likes, particularly Shaves being one of them, Lindell, Sweenoos, Ingell as well, and, of course, Río Cadenes. So it's an opportunity for them to take or grab all of the opportunity at the senior level for Jamaica. When you look at their squad, 14 non-capped players in their 26-man squad. It tells you how much, you know, Halgrimson has been criticised in the past for not using enough local players. Well, this is an opportunity that he's handed them in the lap and say, hey, guys, I'm giving you an opportunity against your Caribbean rivals. Go out, impress me, and I'll see if you can make my squad. All right, well, what can we expect today, guys, on the pitch? Well, I think for board coaches, they would want to see if their board sets of charges will take the instructions that is handed out before the game. And, of course, they would want to see some sort of chemistry and fluidity throughout the game and cohesion as well. That would be key. And then, if you can do the extra stuff that you're good at, that would be great for them. Well, let's talk a little bit about the unlimited substitution today as well. Well, of course, it's when you come out close, though, games, there's these sorts of situations that you have. So I'm not surprised that that situation has been allowed. Well, you can follow all of the action of this matchup and so many others simply by downloading the Sportsmax app. When we come back, kick off here at the Hazel Crawford Stadium, Trinidad and Tobago versus Jamaica. Well, that is pictures of Fort George, a position used to defend this country back in the colonial era. Today, it will be the Hazel Crawford Stadium that Trinidad and Tobago will hope will be a fortress as they come up against Jamaica. Windy conditions, a hot Friday here in Port of Spain, and an even more feisty matchup expected here at the Hazel Crawford Stadium. It's Trinidad and Tobago versus Jamaica. James Sardis is my name. Brent Sanchez alongside me to bring you all of the action, break down all of the analysis as we get set for this match. Two teams that have dominated the Caribbean region for several years, and they're pretty even in the last three fixtures, certainly under Hal Halgumson, who will oversee this Jamaica team who are preparing for semi-finals of the Concord Gap Nations League for Angus Eve's men. All the assignment is a big one as well. They get set to face Canada in a one-off plane for a place at the Copa America. Brent Sancho joins the conversation. Brent, Trinidad and Tobago versus Jamaica. You look at the squad's relatively inexperienced squad on both ends. However, it's never really a friendly between these teams. Never is, and when you start jotting back your memories as the type of fixtures we've seen when these two teams meet, you'd always have a little bit of extra taste on it. I remember myself playing against Jamaica, beating them in a quarter-finals, James, and the CSC Games. That game had a bit of taste in its mode on and off the field when we went back to the hotel that hosted both teams. Remarkably enough, when we played Venezuela in the semi-finals, the Jamaicans was there to support us. So despite the fact that there is rivalry when it comes to it, of course, there's a high level of respect for both teams. When you talk about Kings of the Caribbean and success at the Caribbean level, it's very difficult for you to look past the likes of Trinidad, Tobago, and Jamaica. Of course, Haiti would now start to enter and probably have been entering that conversation. But I think as it relates to this particular fixture, James, it really comes down to players trying to find themselves on that plane for those these... Of course, if you look at what has transpired with the 2006 Warriors, a name Evans Wise, who's not part of the qualifiers or pictures, played a friendly game and found himself on a plane to Germany. So if that was a story of inspiration, I'm very sure these young men will take to that one. All the first pictures are of a cast that will entertain us for the next 90 minutes. Jamaica in the black with the gold stripe, Trinidad and Tobago in their customary red, white, and black. Separated by some numbers in the current FIFA rankings, but when it comes to Caribbean cups, Jamaica, six Caribbean cups, Trinidad and Tobago, ten Caribbean cups, taking nothing away from the Jamaicans, though the recent form in particular, have seen them become the most dominant team in the Caribbean. The job is to impress for those men, the Jamaicans, the reggae boys. Five debutants in Angus Eve's squad this evening, and their job is to impress, to find a plane ticket to the U.S. as Trinidad and Tobago get set to take on Canada in the Concacaf plane. Well, time for pleasantries. The only time you might see these guys friendly for the remainder of the 90 minutes, Al Halgrimson, and I, some of his under-20 talent for this matter, of course, is under-20 team, still in competition in the Concacaf qualifiers. And let's get introduced. Nikolaj Nairan will take charge of this fixture. He will be assisted by Kurt Charles, Melissa Nicholas, a sister of former West Indies captain, Marissa Aguilera, and Cecile Hines will complete the rest of the referee's cast. And introduction to Jamaica. And, well, they've got a very good team. Dixon of Arnett Gardens is in there. Don is currently the leading goal scorer in the Jamaica Premier League, 11 goals. And he will be assisted in attack by Reed, who may be switched from Naroka. Hal Halgrimson is the coach. Well, when you look at the line-ups, Reed Dixon and Don will make up the attacking line-up with Shepard and Marshall at Anglin just behind them. And Foster will manly back as goalkeeper, with a full of experience. For Trinidad and Tobago, as mentioned, five debutants in the line-up, among them, Liam Burns. Justin Obeku of Coventry City. Well, he will make his first appearance in the red, white, and black. So to Kai Gavi, who campaigned in Canada. Kai and Thomas gets a look-in, while Chavrones Hamilton is another one of the debutants together with Kai Moose, Angus Eve. The most-capped Trinidad and Tobago player is on the bench as coach. So Obeku will lead the point of the attack. Gavi, slotting in at the right. Kai Moose, who recently made an impression in the TT Premier League, playing with Clubs Sando, sitting just behind them, while the two wingbacks on debut to the Chavrones Hamilton and Liam Burns. Some prayer and perhaps some reflection ahead of the task at hand. The majority of this team, campaigning in the TT Premier League, Josiah Trimingham, one of the men who will be the leaders in this outfit. Of course, he does represent the Jamaican club among Pleasant, together with Kylie Overay, who's on the bench this afternoon. Pleasant, of course, sits in second in the JPL at the moment. Adrian Fonset, a police goalkeeper and national youth talent, will be in goal. It's been a race to replace Marvin Phillips, the long-standing Trinidad and Tobago internationals. So Nikolai Nairon sends us on our way here at the Hazley Crawford Stadium, Jamaica in the black and gold. Trinidad and Tobago in the red and black. The last three fixtures between these teams. See them split right down the middle. A win for Trinidad and Tobago in Montego Bay, in Halgrimson's first matches in Jamaica. Jor, Kingston, and of course the Jamaicans, perhaps can boast of a heavy forewarned thrashing of the Soco Warriors at the Conker Calf Gold Cup. Brent Sanchez alongside me, Brent. It's a fixture that not much is known about these teams and what we can't expect, but what can we still tell? Well, I think the coaches, first and foremost, would want the instructions carried out. It will be difficult to get fluidity and cohesion, simply because both sets of players wouldn't have much time in preparation as we look at Coach Angus Yves. And I'm very sure that his pre-game speech would be, stick to the plan of what has been said forward, try to keep structure and shape, and then you can start to add the extra that you have. And of course, from a Jamaica perspective, I expect very similar. It's a big test for both sets of players, as you mentioned, a lot of on-car players within the rankings. Thomas Center is knocked out, and he, well, of a second bite, whips it in the area, did take a deflection somewhat of Justin Sardu. Well, hasn't gone far, has it? Has the Jamaican striker scrambled it away? Finally, they get it clear. One criticism of Halgrimson is the fact that many have noted that he hasn't utilized much locally-based players in any of his line-ups. Of course, the last time these teams met in Jamaica, did utilize several players. Halgrimson, of course, a former dentist, and a man credited with taking Iceland to the quarter-final run, just standing out of your shot there, but he is leading the charge on the bench. They're going to launch this in the area, and while they're appealing for a handball, Wiku tried to get something going, but he was blocked out. It's won back by Sardu, Nathaniel Garcia for a nasty collision, and on Nikolai Nairu, and immediately calling for medical attention. Yeah, that's... Looks like a really bad collision there. Both players had eyes on the football, and maybe that's where the unfortunate side of it stands, because they didn't see each other. Full-blooded tackle. And it looks like Nathaniel Garcia. Look who's for where Stefan Young is back up on his feet. We have another look at it. Aaron Pass played in there in the middle of the park. Garcia all eyes on his ball, and, of course, in the collision there, because we have a very good look at it. There's a lot of body parts from both individuals involving that collision. I just hope that the players are better. Certainly Young looks like he's shaking it off, but Garcia still needed a bit of treatment. Oh, Nathaniel Garcia back in the line-up. He had done it if he were to be replaced this early in the fixture. Of course, the older brother of TNT's star man, Levi Garcia, Caribbean Cup winner several years ago with Central FC as well. Now, the concussion protocol these days requires that players must leave the pitch. And, well, the coaches' protocol is getting a good bird's-eye view of the action, Hal Halgrimson. Dentist by profession. Well, certainly more famous in the footballing arena, certainly in Jamaica, while Nathaniel Garcia just checks to make sure that, well, he can still conge after that nasty collision. He's a wee little man, but he's certainly tough. As the Jamaican say, little but he's tall as well. He certainly does have that steely edge as a midfielder. A player that has been in and around national teams, has never really cracked it and solidified a start in position. But every coach that has come in over the last five or so years plus have seen his abilities as something that they should have on the squad. This is a game he would hope that, of course, if he continues, to stamp his authority all over it. Oh, play, finally restarted as Josiah Chimingham launches this one, looking for Gavi, didn't take it cleanly, just blocked away by McCalla. Well, almost ran himself up in some trouble there, Stewart. Finally now, Shepard looked to get it away. Oh, Don has made an overlapping run. Just couldn't get past the physical presence of Josiah Chimingham. Of course, Josiah Chimingham now also campaigning in the Jamaica Premier League. Stewart is looking to build the rhythm now, the Jamaicans. Gavi has run himself into some trouble and finally is able to regain possession with a throw. Of course, this match, you might notice, he stands empty at the moment. Karifta Charles, the cause of that. Of course, a preparation on going here at the stadium for that, which takes place tomorrow. Well, could find a way through here and it might have been deflected and it will be a Jamaica corner. Reed showing exactly what he can do when given the opportunity. When it comes to a striker that has experienced, Bindi had done that. Is that man in your picture, Fabio Reed? So, good clever flick through there. He had one thing in mind, he was looking to try to pass it in the far post. Didn't get the right connection. Eventually it comes off of Trinidad, but Fabio Reed is a type of player that can turn something out of nothing quite quickly. Five goals from three matches for the Arnett Gardens man. And, well, it's a corner kick, that own trouble, the TNT defense. Round two for the Jamaicans. It's time blocked by Liam Burns, one of the debutants this afternoon. Anywhere will do. His possession is gifted back to the Jamaicans through Thomas. As you can quite tell, it's a tad windy here. He is in the Coffman Stadium. It's just to the right of the Gulf of Faria and the Orgy Jepers Highway, just on the outskirts of Port of Spain. Neither team has created any significant goal threat early on in this fixture. Fabio Reed, perhaps, with the best opportunity. Oh, last level footwork. And a crunching challenge from Nathaniel Garcia, who's announced his presence on. Well, Dixon's touch is heavy, the Arnett Gardens man, but he will get a throw. Well, it certainly can be a struggle for coaches trying to get fluidity in a team that primarily hasn't played together very often. Well, this could be inviting, showing his strength just to get ahead of Gavi. 14 uncapped players in the Jamaica squad of 26 of this match. Well, this is promising, showing immense strength here. And they're looking for a window. Perhaps now they can get one away. It's done. Oh, clever footwork. Couldn't beat his man as Gavi is tackled illegally. But a good look for the Jamaicans early on. And they started to find a bit of joy, particularly down this right-hand side. And in particular, Justin Dunn. Obviously, making an illegal challenge here on Gavi. A good passage of play for the Jamaicans, starting to shrink together one or two passes and looked a bit of a threat. Now it looks like the turn of Trinidad Tobago. Gavi. That's a good skill. Well, this time Nicaraguan Nairun, so nothing wrong. Well, what this game has lacked in fluidity, certainly hasn't lacked in physicality. Well, he knows clearly what his instructions are. Chavron is Hamilton, the man in your picture. Positile player. Just playing midfield for his club club sandal, being used in a left-back position this afternoon. Well, another try, perhaps. Oh, just over the top. Foster had a good look at it. Might have gotten a touch as well. It's a corner. Yeah, and you can see Foster telling his defenders, just a tight closer. Because I had a lot of venom in it. Sealing just over the bar there, but if you have another look at it, once he gets control here, went for it. Well, he couldn't swing one back in the area now. It's a wave out of the Jamaicans. Well, it's going to get interesting. Foster had his eyes on it all the way. Oh, man, look at this. Fixed it as a matchup between the JPL and the TT Premier League. I am Tom, I saw him snuck in there. See Jamaicans to get it away. Not interesting in going forward too quickly, the Jamaicans, quite confident in their build-up. And finally, swung over the top. Can't find the way past Boons as it just went out into touch. I think both teams are struggling to find their progressive midfielder as we see the Jamaican bench. Anglin for Jamaica, number six. He's been shadowed by Netanyah Garcia, so he's not getting the opportunities to shift the side of attack, a point of attack. And it's similar for Kai Muzan trying to be ego-side. So that has made the progress in the ball a little bit of a challenge. That's a good bit of tune, his piece. Some space here, trying to get a look in. And once that had the last touch, corner. This time, the Jamaicans forcing a corner after defending one just mere moments earlier. Last Alex Marshall, trying a good turn, a pace here, getting past, sheminist Hamilton leaving him for dead. I thought his decision making there could have been better. He went to shoot from a very, very tight angle. And Fonsept had that well covered. Not even sure if he was needed to make that save because it looked like it was heading wide. Nevertheless, he couldn't tell, so he did the right thing. Hiding up for this one, all the big men inside the area for Jamaica, just over the head there of Stuart who had arrived at the penalty spot. Spoons. Well, he's lost that in a bad area. Obiku. And Josiah trimming him to the rescue. Well, this match starting at 3 p.m., local time here and turning it out in Tobago. Friday evening, just quite, typically quite hotter this time, some fouls over here just lingering, making conditions invitingly cool for the players. Marshall, well, this is probing. Well, did find Dixon arriving late at the back post. Couldn't stay at pass goalkeeper Fonsept. Yeah, it's good bit of vision there by Marshall. He's already looked very dangerous in all that he's done. Just some moments ago, taking on sheminist Hamilton and leaving him for dead. And now trying to make a pinpoint cross. Certainly the lively of all four wingers so far in this game. But maybe Gavi could put me wrong. Speaking of lively, Gavi, 1-v-1. That's not a bad idea. Knocked out at the front door. He was chappered. Talk about confidence from Anglin. He says, comfortable as a polar bear in the Arctic. That man, Anglin, passed the middle line and he got the pick out done. Finally getting some movement forward. Look at that. Made his man disappear. And he wins the throw for his team. He's shown some fancy footwork so far. Like Marshall again there. I always have to come in and support his club teammate. Stewart, just over the head of Dixon. Can he find a way past Burnsey? Tossed so with some bit of ease. Well, put open the door here for Jamaica and just run out of real estate in the end. But again, the Jamaicans are huffing and puffing. Yeah, and the supply of concern is coming from both of the wingers. Let's have a look at the bench for Triantabago. And that occasion for Jamaica, it was the man that came Dixon. Again, James, maybe better decision-making may have gotten him inside. But he tried maybe a trick too many. They started to take a grip at this game, the Jamaicans certainly looking lively and they are talking to it with the likes of Dixon and Marshall. Certainly two players that look very competent in one-v-one situations. Here goes Marshall again. Oh, looking like a conductor at the moment. Pulling all the strings. Stewart. Surveys his options and decides that young is the best one. Now finally, Bobiko decides to press here. Forcing the Jamaicans to move forward. Marshall. Are they finding space now? Red shields forced to retreat. He's a good cross, but he's found one. But he did a better touch, wasn't there? Maybe Marshall can produce some more magic. There's a man down out of your picture, but they don't mind as well. Sends a mortar from distance. Just missing its mark. Certainly finding rhythm. And Makala at the moment seems to be in a bit of discomfort. Suley Makala, one of a few more pleasant players in the Jamaica lineup. Oh, might be a close match, but they had the opportunity to come in. And finding a way inside his head at the moment. Love to know what his thought pattern might be. Has been quite active on the sideline since the match began on Gassif. Of course, there are several scouts around today as well, Brent. Having a look at some of the players who perhaps will look for overseas opportunities. Yeah, we've seen that. And we've seen players, of course, in some both countries as we prepare for the water break as expected in games played at this time. Coach Derek King there with Rondell Gibson. Now with Klub Sandow, formerly of Eagles FC. Probably likely to replace that man there in your picture who took a very nasty knock early in the game with his collision with Stephen Young. But I'm sure Jamaicans would be the happier to have grown into the contest as it went along. Certainly the likes of Cahim Dixon. And of course, the star man so far, Alex Marshall, has caused a spotter bottle or two for Angus Eve and his charges in red. Oh, new boy, Kai Garvey having some words with coach Angus Eve. Ronald Primus, one of those, number 12. In the picture, Caribbean Cup winner with Trinidad and Tobago back in 2014 never really went on to cement a place at the senior level, although he did play at two Ute World Cups. Well, as expected, Rondell Gibson will make his debut for Trinidad and Tobago, replacing Nathaniel Garcia. Of course, he did suffer a nasty collision and perhaps a precaution against the concussion. Oh, it's hot, as I'm sure you can tell, on the sideline chatter. But quickly we just ran into some traffic there and it was almost chompled over. My steward can't start the half of you, man. Garvey, just disconnected from the server. No real connection there between Donner and the overlapping Marshall. Can't pass the 20-minute mark yet. Here's the Crawford Stadium, still no goals between Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica to welcome our viewers across the Caribbean on Sportsmax. Here's Rondell Gibson getting his first touch. Down to the Smith, of course, on the bench, keeping company to Nathaniel Garcia, who's just gone off. Kaim Thomas, with a given goal, Liam Burns in a dangerous area. Obig, who is there, gets ahead on it. Not enough, but promising. Yeah, a bit more enterprise in there from Trinidad Tobago. First time really in this game, able to put together a couple passes. Burns at the end of this cross. Obig will maybe overrun in his charge towards the goal, always having to stretch, can't generate the power necessary, and eventually straight back in the safe hands of Kemal Foster. But that's a little bit better from Trinidad and maybe if they can be a bit more consistent with that sort of approach, it may start to edge this game more to their favor. Interesting, James Rondell Gibson is into the game and he already is playing a little bit deeper than the person that he replaced in Nathaniel Garcia. Almost a double pivot with Kaim Thomas, that's good skill again. Gally's opened the door. Can he get in? Marshall, well, good touch from Sadu. Taking it away from Marshall as Gavi tries to get it away. Well, they try again the Jamaicans. Again, running into a red light, Makala, losing possession as Obig who picks it up. Good skill, and just chipped up in the hand from Sheppard. Didn't like what he saw, Jamoun Sheppard. Hamilton, searching, couldn't beat Makala. Roughly saw nothing wrong, play continues. Well, this time it's Sadu who goes down in the heap. Sadu, of course, plays his club football right here in Trinidad and Tobago with the defense force. Skipson. Well, it's from the way to trying to get Kaim Thomas involved, but a former national, the 20 player, fondling over his man. 21 years old now, Kaim Thomas. It's part of the last Trinidad and Tobago on the 20 set up prior to the one that played in the Conker Kaif qualifiers. And, well, just being a bit naughty that time. Fondling over Steven Young. And from Portmore, losing possession to Moose as Chimingham tries to get it forward. Kipson, chipped up. So he's had no time in getting into the game, Rundall Gibson. Yeah, he has, and he's certainly left his print on it. What he's doing, James, he's making himself available for the football. He's trying to play in the pockets and always make himself readily for any pass and option. And that's what Trinidad and Tobago need, if they are to get some sort of fluidity in this game. There will be another corner for the Soco Warriors. They certainly will wait their turn to get ready. It's Thomas. This one is high. Gibson is arriving. Chimingham got a head on it. Hasn't gone anywhere. Sides over the goal line, but it might have been a fall before that. There's the Jamaicans win possession. Angusy urging his team to press higher. Got to stop Marshall first. Slippery as they come. Arguably won't been one of the best players of the match so far. Alex Marshall, the man from Portmore burns. Not really getting a handle on it. And it will be the Jamaicans. Happy to take back possession. Marshall, it's done well to open up some space here. And they will drive into the space here, the Jamaicans. Well, the flag go up. It comes late. Just arriving a bit too early. But the warning signs are there. And I think Dixon would be disappointed there. Could have held his runner, but he's looking right across the line. It didn't need him to go this early. Right about here, when you realize that you're going past it, you have to pull out and take the width instead. He kept going forward. And of course, eventually went offside. Could opportunity there from Jamaica, but really and truly, a poor mistake by Dixon and going offside. Moose, well, slipped away from his man. Couldn't get past the second. He's not with the ball. Oh, the toss for this and does really well to get it away. Halt, one back by Ronald Primus. This time, Moose has space to advance. Yes, Rondell Gibson. Chevron is Hamilton. Trimmingham, just a handful of senior international caps with Trimmingham. Gives away possession, but it's one back, though, to Gibson. Just not finding space easily. And certainly found the boot to the back of his heels, Kym Thomas. It's a good opportunity, though, just outside the area. And of course, Kym Thomas known for his set-piece ability. Sports played into him there. Very, very lead with that challenge. Oh, the sun has just joined us here. The Haysley Crawford Stadium in splendid glory. As you can see, all the shadows have magically evaporated off the surface. Thomas certainly wants a piece of this. So too, Gavi. Will be Thomas, deflected. Paul just wide of the mark. I tell you what, if you are to take indication from Kuma Foster's body language, he was in cement blocks on his feet, stuck to the ground. That deflection had him going in the wrong wave. And he was very thankful that the ball didn't end up in the back of the net. Deflection, Kuma Foster already going to his right. He just couldn't get back. And the ball goes to the corner. That's a free header. Well, just missed his mark yet again. He got in a really good area. Just couldn't find it on target. And in the last few minutes, Justin Obeco had some of the better chances for Tudon and Tobago. Certainly looked a threat in the air. Oh, we've gone past the half-hour mark. Still no goals in this fixture. Last time these teams met in a friendly international, ended in a goal as Joe at the national stadium in Kingston. Couldn't find a way through. Rondell Gibson now. It's wiggling away, finding space. Licking up with Saru. And now they will get Gavi involved. It's 1v1. Well, Saru has arrived there, but his touch a bit too heavy. Yeah, and easily, James, the best passage of play for Trinand Tobago in his half. Could be the footwork by Gibson, changing the point of attack. Once Gavi got into this position here with the football, could be the vision by the young man from Canada. Line breaking run from Saru, but the touch let him down. Well, against Caim Thomas Burns, plays with the league leaders, AC Port of Svein. Just time Gavi. It's well taken away by Makala. Danger seemed imminent for a second. Makala spotted the danger well. Momentum has certainly shifted in the last few minutes. And you'd have to give Rondell Gibson credit for that since he's come on the park. He's demanded the football, and he's been very economical in his distribution. Chase for Primus, Hamilton to keep it in. Caim Moose, and that's a chase that Obikwu will not win. Moose has been battered in the last interaction. Our place for Club Sando. Fifth place in the standings in the TT Premier League. One of his teammates, Jamal, Jack there as well. Certainly left his bird's eye position. He wants to get close to the action now. Hal Halgrimson. Yeah, I think he's felt that shift as well. Certainly Trinidad and Tobago now in the ascendancy. It really has been James that battle at the middle of the park that has decided which team has the impetus. And the last five plus minutes, maybe even 10, might have to say that Trinidad and Tobago was taken charge in that department. Moose finds Robert Primus. Almost lost it for a second, but he recovered well. Almost got Sadovyn. It's won by Primus. Legally so, says the Ruffian Factor. Tosco Trinidad is big goes away. I'm Hal Grimson to make him coach Sedona's pre-match talks that he intends to see at least 90 minutes from most of the players in his squad. Also, we welcome all of our viewers across the Caribbean and around the world via our Sportsmax app. Of course, I downloaded the Sportsmax app today via the Apple Store and Google Play. And you can capture all of the action in Jamaican Premier League. And the TTPFL via the Sportsmax app. Get it today. Marsha over the interception. And just bomb talks of possession. And Nikolai Nairon is cautioning Shevarna's Hamilton for some rough play. Well, he's done well, the big will. Was he fouled? Well, Nikolai Nairon agrees. It's another free kick for Trinidad and Tobago. And that's good work by the big man from Coventry. That's what you want from a forward when you're trying to press. Have to be alert, and he was. And with that, Aaron Touchy was able to get his body in between. And now puts Trinidad Tobago in a very promising position, particularly with the likes of Rondell Gibson and, of course, that man, Cahim Thomas. Now we've seen Hamilton as well. Had a few, but it looks like Gibson is the one that has taken charge of it. So Rondell Gibson did make the January transfer from Eagle Zafsi of Sandu. And now making the step up to the senior international level on debut. On target as well. Foster was there. Well positioned, Foster. A little to the danger. Well, he's been picked, his pocket picked. And Dixon will try to advance. Well, that's Cheetah at Adrian Fonset. Of the keeper, Foster is down. That's the reason that Nikolai Nairon stopped the play. Foster just seemed to have taken a knock in the last challenge that was made. Of course, they do have reserves on the bench. They can call upon the Jamaicans. Young Jaden Hibbet of Atlanta FC. Yeah, just recently drafted of Atlanta United. First time around the Jamaica call-up. He talked about the excitement in his family both at home and of course in Jamaica. And both teams, of course, with difference in direction, Jamaica fully utilizing their diaspora for team selection, which have seen several players recruited from outside the shores of Jamaica. And of course, Triantabago certainly not as adventurous as the Jamaicans. Certainly, the Lord doesn't allow it as a passport situation here or citizenship situation stops at the mother and father. Doesn't go to the grandparents. Maybe something Triantabago could look at in the future. James? Certainly hope so. Not many Triantabago players playing in the top-flag competition around Europe these days. Since the days of the Dwight Yorks and Russell Latterpies. But it's something that we've seen across the Concercalf region. You look at the likes of Curacao, Haiti, for example. And of course, Jamaica certainly utilizes it to the advantage. Yeah, and it's a hot topic in the Caribbean. Of course, there are the protagonists that believe that it's times the development on Ireland. And of course, there are the ones that believe that it benefits because it helps the country play more top-level games, which of course brings in the finances to develop the young talent on the island. Interesting conversation, of course. That one of the utilization of the diaspora. James, for me, I think as tiny as we are in the Caribbean, you have to use everything that you can to bring success in the football pitch. And in a region with the likes of the USA, Canada, Mexico, etc., with huge populations and a huge playing pool to choose from, I certainly believe that countries, if they have the opportunity, need to utilize what they can. Sadu's done well to win it back. And that was an attempted shot from Kai Muz. Just couldn't steer it in the direction he wanted. It's almost scary to think that the likes of Kyle Walker, Raheem Stirling as well, could have represented the reggae boys in competition. I know they still talk of Mason Greenwood. Of course, he would not be able to play. He would have played his amount of national games that may not make him qualify, but there's still a long, long list of potential Jamaican targets that's being discussed and probably negotiated. That's a good bit of work there by Thomas. He wins a corner, and Trinidad and Tobago currently leading in the corner category, haven't utilized it to the advantage so far. Just that one header from Ubeku that went over the top. And that's surprising, James, because when you look at the likes of Trinidad and Primus, who've done very well in the TTPFL, of course, Trinidad going on to the JPL now. Of course, you mentioned Ubeku. They should at least find the target, and a man like this, Thomas, to deliver. That's a poor delivery, though. Well, not his best delivery. Won't be tipped for that. And we'll have a second bite, Lou. I am Thomas, of course, along with the likes of Riala Gill, former under 20 talent. Played out the last conca-calf championship. Of course, Trinidad and Tobago just feeling this week. Qualified. Well, that's a big header. Stewart, well, Foster took that really low out. Well, he hasn't really grabbed on to it, and the referee's whistle comes his help. What a scary moment, though, for the reggae boys. Hasn't always looked that confident. Dealing with the big aerial balls, Foster. Feeling for a handball. Stewart is not going to get it as advantage is given to Jamaica. And Stanley fouled against them. And no surprise. Who's the man that's down at the moment? Alex Marshall. Certainly been a thorn in the side of the TNT defense. Clock ticking down just 20 seconds of regulation time and what will be added. That's, of course, the water break. That's to me that it might just be around three minutes that will be added. Oh, high boot there from Primus. Effective does Gibson, squirms as we out of trouble before Fond du Louvre. So it is confirmed that it will be three minutes to be added. Well, Slippery is an eel. Anybody knows when the gifts in he's been a slippery customer and pin him down that easily. Well, the Sun certainly out in full force here in Port of Spain. And here's the Crawford Stadium. Started this match with some cloud cover. Well, that has changed exponentially. It's blazing at the moment. Players will be happy to take their way into the halftime tunnel. Of course, Carifta trials will be taking place here tomorrow at the Hazley Crawford Stadium. One of the reasons for the empty stadium. This match was closed off to the public. And of course, are one of the reasons for the early start of this sixth day as well. As Gibson trimming him, Chavrenes Hamilton. Well, he's keeping his man, the old banana peel. And well, he's taken the old tumble. Not familiar with that position very much, Hamilton. He's usually employed as a winger for McFielder. Used this afternoon as a left back. Well, he finds his clubmate, Moose, dancing shoes. Couldn't stay on his foot, turned out well. So whistle as Gibson tried to find some shooting room. And it almost used up all of the additional time that was added. Just about 30 seconds of it remaining. Still a goal, that's between Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica. Of course, at halftime, we will have the highlights and some analysis. Well, Khayam Thomas could be through. Nimsik getting a foot in, but it's still not over. And it will be a way to done. He's got some support as the Jamaicans push forward. They'd certainly like to get something before halftime. There won't be enough time as Nikolai Nairan signals the end of 45 minutes. So 45 minutes that has ebbed and flowed. Teams of momentum for either team. Rondell Gibson making an impact after coming on as a substitute for Nathaniel Garcia. Sadu and Khayam Thomas getting in good positions. Don and Reed and perhaps Alex Marshall, the most dangerous of Jamaica so far. But at the end of 45 minutes, it's all blank. Trinidad has made a nil, Jamaica nil. We take a pause and be back with the highlights. All the Hesley Crawford Stadium is alive and alive with football action. No walls though. Still goal as between Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica and the first of two friendly internationals. Well, 45 minutes is gone and it's time to look back, rewind the clock, see how it unfolded. Started with the pleasantries. Nikolai Nairan leading the charge. Jamaica using a number of uncapped players. So to Trinidad and Tobago to start trimming them. One of the leaders in the bunch. And it started early. But Khayam Thomas having the first rel go. Costa had to get a touch to see it over. Have some warning signs of what was to come. And then after that, well, the match ebbed. And it certainly flew to Jamaica. One point took a lot of control. This man in particular, Alex Marshall, wiggling up his way to space, forcing a save from front set. And they hopped and puffed. That one coming from distance from Anglin. Khayam Thomas though might argue that he perhaps came the closest. Deflected free kick, leaving his man like a statue. And then later on from one of his corners, Obiku just missing the top corner. And another free kick, Rondell Gibson. Later on he came on as a substitute, forcing a save from Foster. Not enough to beat the man. And that is all that 45 minutes coughed up in terms of action. Maybe the numbers can tell us a different picture as we dissect the digits. And when you look at that, Trinidad and Tobago leading on shot conks. Certainly a physical contest. Jamaicans committing nine while Trinidad and Tobago four. No card so far in this fixture. Jamaicans keep a foster force into the majority of action. But all of that conks were not like what the score is at the moment. Zero, zero. Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica. We'd love to hear the analysis and get the inside scoop on that. Hansi Veens is standing by with Brent Sancho. Thank you very much, James Saunders. Nill Nill on the half. But Brent, let's talk about the way these teams match up. We're talking skills, physicality, and everything in between. Well, we did say that there would be some challenges when it comes to fluidity because of the composition of both teams. As we mentioned, really a plethora of All Star players from both of the respective domestic league. So that had its challenges in the way that teams play. But certainly, Jamaica looked like the team that was given more impetus going forward in the first 20 minutes or so. And then, of course, that change in the last 20, 25 minutes for Trinidad and Tobago started to find a little bit of gaps and spaces behind the Jamaican defense. It's been an even game so far. I think both coaches would be moderately happy from what they've seen so far from their charges. Well, let's talk about some of the charges. Let's talk about Dixon and Marshall from the Jamaican team. I'll tell you what, exceptional 1-v-1 players, one on the left-hand side, the other on the right-hand side. Alex Marshall showing a clean pair. He is, sir, Shivered as Hamilton on a couple occasions. His decision-making when he got into the box let him down. But what he's presented is a genuine outlet for the Jamaicans. They've been able to utilize him to great effect. And, of course, Dixon on the other side ever went in getting forward up the left-hand side. More importantly, when he gets into the sort of areas that he should be executing better, it didn't go well. And both teams are very guilty of that situation. They've not been able to execute in the goal-scoring properly. That's why we've seen a limited amount of goal-scoring opportunities or goal-mount action for that part. It's been a team for us half, pleasing on the eye, but certainly lack the sort of activity that we thought we would have seen. Well, Nathaniel Garcia came off and in came Rondell Gibson, clearly making a difference. Well, a massive difference. And you call it the Gibson factor. Before Garcia came off, the challenge that Trinante Bego had is the midfielders were coming onto the ball straight on. So they were taking two and three touches and passing the ball back, not able to spread or change the point of attack. But Gibson came on and saw something different. He started to come a bit side on and take one touch and was able to look forward to make those passes. And that has been critical in terms of the change that we saw in the middle of the park. When a midfielder has broken the line through a turn or movement, it then gives your offensive players opportunities to start to advance. And that's what Gibson did for Trinante Bego so far in a short stint. Came on in the 22nd minute, but certainly had an impact so far in this football game. What extreme lesson for players and coaches like Brent, what can we look forward to in the second half? Well, I think for a Jamaica perspective, they want to neutralize Gibson and his ability to move the ball around in the middle of the park. So expect them to press a little bit higher up the park. Expect them to go back to the usage of Marshall and Dixon and what they've been able to do in the first 20 minutes, try to get them in isolated positions, higher up the park. And for Trinante Bego, they have to be a little bit more cutting edge in the attacking food. I think that's what the message would be. And of course, Hans, this is unlimited substitution. So expect to see a huge amount of changes that may disrupt the flow of the game. Well, the flow of the game continues when we come back around here at the Hazy Crawford Stadium. Trinante Bego, Nell, Jamaica, Nell. When we come back, second half action. All the sun is back out and so too of the players as we get set for second half action here at the Hazy Crawford Stadium, still go last between Trinante Bego and Jamaica. Well, a little too in terms of our changes as they come about and you expect that there might be quite a few changes. Good coaches, of course, are having a look at some of the players that will help their teams to make, of course, preparing for the semi-final of the Conquer Camp Nations League. Trinante Bego getting ready for that play in against Canada for the Cooper America. Chips orders is my name. Brent Sancho is alongside me, including all of the half-time analysis of the action. Rondell Gibson certainly one of the standout players. And we get set for the second half. Well, it's a second half that certainly would have some sorts of changes in it. As you mentioned, these two games are part of preparatory works for both teams, for their Nations League assignments that they respectively have. Well, and of course, for that reason, it's unlimited substitutions. So expect to see a host of subs being used as we see the men in the red, white and black after their half-time break. The cast members, the players being there, return to the field. No sign of any rail changes just yet. Fortuna Dahl and Bego. Most of the starting lineup that completed the first half, looks certain ready to come out for the second. Foster, he's been busy. Three saves for the Jamaica Shot Stopper. So we'll let you know of any rail changes as the Jamaica team makes their way out of the dressing room. Might be a couple of changes. Of course, Hal Halgrimson did say that he would like every player in the squad to get at least 90 minutes of action over the course of the two matches, of course. And they do look set to make a couple of changes from their end. Among those set to come in is Romario Coutry, among pleasant. Jason Wright also seems lined up and ready to come in. Shimon Shappard will return as he was part of the first half action. So Romario Coutry and Jason Wright, two of the changes so far. You will have confirmation on your screen in just a second of the changes made so far in this fixture. I can tell you it's quite hot here. Just after 4 p.m. local time. Local fans, of course, missing out on this one because of the fact that Carrifta preparations are ongoing here at the stadium tomorrow. Well, it's all for one and one for all kind. Thomas, one of the most dangerous of the so-called warriors players in the first half. Anybody would know that, man, certainly will. So no changes for the so-called warriors. Two changes for Jamaica. As we get set for the second half, election is away here at the Hayesley Crawford Stadium. Chevron is Hamilton, gets back into the actor. That'll have to be good. It'll just have the likes of Nathaniel James, Ross Russell Jr., Nangaron, and lots of green moquettes to call upon. Second leg of this fixture will take place on Sunday, 4 p.m. at the Lowry Groom Stadium. In East Trinidad, of course, that match will be available to fans who can view it live. The tasty encounter every time these teams meet. Moose, Liam Burns, it's a wee by Jamaica. Wright gets his first touch. Well, this is long another of the substitutes. Kutry couldn't get it in the end, taken away by his opposite number, Josiah Trimmingham. It's a wee by Moose, and it will be another throw for the reggae boys, Marshall. He's found a wee to get in, Marshall. And, well, pants have been bumped. He's won a free kick. And just like the first half, he's brought his magic tricks to the second. And he's won himself a free kick. Just this time he's coming on the left-hand side and not the right-hand side. Good bit of trickery there by Marshall. Certainly a player that has beliefs and his ability to take his man on. And why not? He's done it well so far. So, from Mario Kutry, the substitute, left this one across the face. Oh, might have gotten a touch there for a second. It could fall anywhere. Well, Fun said how did he get a body in that as a flag eventually goes up in the end? What a save from Fun said. What a chance for Jamaica. Yeah, hesitation in the box by the rear guard of Trinidad Tobago. Fun said they're making sure that he made himself big. Not be known to him. He was offside, but he had a good stop by the man from Miscellaneous Police. Hamilton got space to run in turn. He tries to get a shooter, a big one. Try again, the so-called warriors. Primus trimming him to play with Miami FC. One point in the USL. Returning home to Club Sando and then once among pleasant in Jamaica. Angling from the angle. And the Dixon's pass is cut out. Will be a throw. Several debutants, Trinidad and Tobago in this match. How do you think they've failed so far? I think it's been a mixed bug. I think defensively, both Hamilton and Burns have found themselves wanting maybe a bit of exuberance on their path, maybe a bit too tight to their man and not, of course, following some basic defensive principles. But offensively, they've not done too badly, those two in particular. Outside of that, Goku looks a good focal point. Certainly the height that Trinidad and Tobago has missed for some time. Of course, it's Brent Sam and Rian Moore. But a post-up player, a player that you can play things into, looks the part and, of course, still relatively young. I think the talk of the half so far has to be Rondell Gibson and what he's been able to produce. Well, Burns' cross looks exciting. And just over the head of everybody. The top left will give you an idea of the changes that were made, of course, Don and the young among the players replaced. No belated action. And, oh, you'll get treatment. Chef Ernest Hamilton, one of those debutants Brent spoke about. It's been utilized in a position that we aren't quite familiar in seeing him in. Yeah, he normally plays a bit higher up the park. But it's all part and parcel in trying to assert yourself into a national team. Of course, the ability to play in numerous positions will help and certainly can help in those sorts of situations. And I know James, we were talking about the diaspora factor. And I understand in my travels during the halftime that a certain Mason Greenwood may be appearing in the reggae boys' color soon. I know conversation is heating up. And there certainly seems to be some sort of agreement in both sides, of course, on confirmed reports. But that was the chatter in the halftime, don't get the benches. That would be a very interesting insertion to the Jamaican line. Of course, Mason Greenwood will only one senior team cap, which certainly means that he can make the travels across. That would be intriguing for the Jamaicans. Certainly would have the eyes on every campaign that Hitachi has been described as by the LaLiga president, Javier Tebas, as the best English player. Might soon have to change that to Jamaican. Certainly done well since making the switch across to Hitachi. Five goals and five assists this season, 22 matches. Certainly would be some added quality to the Jamaican lineup that already possesses immense offensive possibilities. The likes of Leon Bailey, for example, the match has gone down significantly. Coincided with the arrival of the right-study conditions. And Alfonso was taking no chances there, set that high into the stands. Well, can they find a way through? Maybe now they could. Spook it away by trimming him. Looking for Marshall has burns to deal with. He swung himself on the wrong side of his man, but he's recovered well burns. And, oh, Marshall might have done enough to win a throw for the Jamaicans. It's Anglain. Just one Anglain. Fonset had to save hands. Coming into this match, of course, Halbombson also mentioned that he's never concerned or he isn't concerned, in fact, by the results of his fixture. More concerned about the individual performances that he sees. Well, that's been given away. Chance could be opened up here. Just slopping the end from the reggae boys. Kifted a wonderful opportunity to go forward. Right, just a bit indecisive will be a throw. Halbombson said if he didn't have the opportunity, he would utilize several of his under-20 players. However, most of them still in action in the Conker-Calf qualifiers that are ongoing. Alan Tobago, of course, just missing out, losing the group top spot to Canada this week. Angus Eevee, objective. It might be similar, but a bit different. Can you really believe coaches when they say they don't care about the result? It's just like, of course, telling your wife that she looks good when, you know, something in the dress doesn't match up. They do care. And especially in a game of this sort of rivalry. And as they always say in sports, winning is a mentality. It's a habit, and it's a part of an environment. And you want to win football matches. Small-sided games in practice. All the way up to World Cup games, you want to win. That's the bottom line. Yes, there are mitigating factors within it all. Of course, team performances, individual performances. Tactics, structure. But all in all, the exercise is to win. Burns couldn't find a big one. Was lurking in behind the defense. Of course, this match not affecting FIFA rankings by any such. The unlimited substitutions, et cetera. So, good coaches, of course, are given the flexibility to experiment. Also, outside of the FIFA window, there's the unavailability of several players playing overseas. We talk about team preparation and, of course, the recent displays of Caribbean teams in the region, irrespective of age group. And I know one of the factors is the ability to play these sorts of games more regularly. When you start having that conversation, you have to bring in the topic of travel in the Caribbean and how difficult it is, how expensive it is. You know, as a player, we played Grenada, St. Lucia, Barberos and Guyana every Monday morning. And in this sort of situation, it's been a bit of a challenge because of the expensive nature of travel in the Caribbean. And a big part of development, the big part of players getting better is being able to play these type of games. That's a brilliant ball. Well, he's won some space here. That's good skill. Can he get in? Can't get past four and said he does eventually. And the Jamaicans are up and ahead. Dixon with the tricks and the Dixieland dance to celebrate. And it's 1-0. He's got attacking play, poor defensive play. But I'm quite sure if you support Jamaica, he wouldn't mind about the poor defensive play. Intelligent run by Dixie. We spoke about him at the half, gets it in behind Hamilton, poor defending, ball watching there. Well, look at this for a bit of skill. Gets in, puts his man down and then rolls it into the back of the net. Gets in his action there. Hamilton goes. Dixie again passes it in, too close to front-setting. Because of that, he's able to place it in the back of the net. He's been impressive for most of this game, James. Dixie and certainly deserve to go on the score sheet. He's just scored one goal domestically this season. Dixon, national team, plays a cup football with Arnett Gardens, one of several Arnett Garden players. On the starting line-up this afternoon, how will the Soco Warriors respond to the latest assault? They'd have to attack certainly and they'd have to be a little bit more adventurous going forward. It's a muscle lot of possession there, Kaim Thomas. Marshall, getting up to his name, just marshalling a lot of the midfield traffic. Conningham, came on as a substitute. And he's done really well to pick out Ricardo Thomas and easily picked up by front-set. Yeah, that's a terrific bit of skill there by Gibson. To lose his man, Anglin, who's now going to have a conversation with the referee. And here comes a change for Jamaica. Looks like Hebert, the man from Atlanta United. He'd inhibit, well, make his appearance for the Reggae Boys and he will replace captain Foster. And of course, expected to make his Atlanta United debut the first team soon after being drafted. And, well, right on cue. Turned it out into a big decided to change their goalkeeper as well. Adrian front-sets, afternoon is over. In will come Christopher Biggett, the defense four-shot stopper. Certainly a race for the number one position, turning it out into big. Marvin Phillips, suddenly announcing his retirement just a couple of months ago. Of course, the emergence of a emerging talent, Denzil Smith, who's been an exceptional in the nation's league, but we've seen goalkeepers pop up. And of course, for that man that said, Gordon Biggett and of course, Fonset would probably like to retain his, or at least get back in the reckoning. Hebert called into action early and trimming him, but taking no chances. Marshall is killed from Thomas. Conningham sends it all the way back to the goalkeeper. Substitutes linking up very well. Well, this is inviting. Can't be trimming him though. Marshall, he skipped the first one. That's a great idea. Deflected, and again, he's forced the corner. It's been a man to make it happen, Marshall. But very similar to the first half, Jamaica starting the more positive of the two teams. They have already a goal to show for that. They're looking to try to get a second now, through this set play. Paging at the front door almost got in as well. And somehow, someway, allowed to sneak in the Reggae Boys. Suley Makala just wants to know, how come he didn't find the net? Yeah, he had all the time in the world. I know my good friend Colin Murray sit outside the defenders' effort. But as one of the senior officers in the defenders' union, I would say he just missed a bit of time in there, James. Sure he could live with that. Fair assessment. Meantime though, Kaim Thomas was on the seething end of some treatment. As the Reggae Boys might be calling some more officers to duty, Angie Fletcher among those getting set to come in. Chimingham's pass is cut out. It's Thomas. Marshall switches the point of the attack, and he could get in here now. The Jamaicans! Walt Dixon, side netting, came close. He knows it. Another good bit of play there by the Marshall Dixon duo. Switchfield ball, Hamilton doesn't deal with it. Dixon doesn't even think twice. Puts his laces through it, but doesn't, is not able to hit the target. He does hit the target, but the side of it, and not the frame of it. Bigot looked a bit trouble, but eventually it's going out. That's an interesting back pass there for a second. Spraker looks first at everything now. The game's momentum has changed, the tempo has changed, and certainly anyone's asking all the questions. Well, that was a question that was asked by from Mario Gutry. Gravity just not happening for him, couldn't keep it down. As we will have some more changes, Devonte Campbell and the man from Waterhouse. Fletcher set to come in as well as an opportunity for some hydration as well. No Michael Schaves just yet, the 17-year-old, still waiting for his first senior cap. In the meantime, hydration will be foremost in the minds of the players as they huddle around the water coolers, played over an hour of football so far. It's one change returning down to Bigot, while Maggie Boyz have made a host of changes. How do you suspect the water cooler talk might be at the moment? One thing from my Trinidad to Bigot perspective is they've lost the impetus. They finished the first half, certainly with their tails up and being on top. The midfield where they started to have some sort of rhythm and movement, that's gone. Certainly in the second phase after this water break, they will want to do better than that. Of course, don't forget you can download the SportsMax app today. Get it on Google Play or download from the Apple Store. And of course, you can watch all the action right here on the go, downloading the SportsMax app. Tell a friend. Well, I think for Jamaica it's more the same. That tandem of Marshall and Dixon has peed a tremendous amount of dividends for them. Looks like, however, I believe Marshall may have departed James. Marshall, one of the changes. Players coming off as water hoses, Andrew Fletcher has come in. As Cunningham, Thomas. Can't be trimming him. Anybody's ball now. Primus got something on it. Dixon, he's changed sides now. He's dancing away from challenges. Anglin, well, they've done really well. It's Fletcher in a good area. This could be number two. Well, it came off the defender. And, well, night not be over yet. The nightmare just needs a yard of space and just needed a touch. Good work from the substitute Devonte Campbell. Nobody could get their shoelaces on it. Foundation boards are rattling at the moment. Sokow Warriors are shaken up at home. Got the finding space. Anglin has got space to move into the Warriors retreat. Anglin is running away from traffic. Top left, of course, he changes. And this time it comes to nothing. Well, there's a player down just out of your picture. And, well, Kat Stuart looks in a bit of discomfort. They have a viewman. And there we go, Michael Shaves, 17 years old. He's got two goals in Trinidad and Tobago's recent conker calf on the 20 qualifying tournament. And earned him a chance to represent the senior team. What a huge moment for the young man. Just a couple of days ago, he was playing at the U20 level. And now the possibility of making his first senior team appearance all in one week. And then next week he goes back to school. Speaking of school, Steve Fatima College are the champions of the secondary school's football league. Of course, which he played a big part in as well. What a season he's having. Probably hopes it never ends. Of course, Kylie Overy, another youth talent, now plays his football at Mont Pleasant in Jamaica. Also getting ready and set to perhaps come in. Well, imagine there would be some tired legs out there for both teams for that matter. And keeping players fresh in this very hot conditions is important. Quite sure both coaches are aware of that. And of course, we do this again on Sunday. So certainly the energy levels have dropped a bit from a Trinidad-Tobago perspective. And I'm sure Coach Angus Yves would want to change that. And bring in fresh legs and fresh ideas. And Jamaica would want to continue on the upward trajectory that they've shown so far in the second half. Ricardo King might come in to replace Ma'am Deschatia, Garth Stewart. Looks like his afternoon might be over. King looks set to come in. Certainly had a decent showing so far. Stewart, Richard King, set to replace him. Well, as you were, as the action continues, just about 60 and a half minutes is all that's left in this contest. It's the one change for the Soco Warriors. And I felt Jamaican's looking to change the scoreline, but trimming them was well positioned. Trinidad and Tobago will next be in action after this round of matches against Canada. One off plane for the Copa America looking to secure their spot. They've got that big match up against the US. Nations League semi-final. And well, might just see the first yellow card of the match. You've got a good bit of football there by Gibson. Paid the price for it though. Collected it here. Look at that. Nifty Anglin's saying to him, good work friend, but you're not going anywhere. Sean Anglin, the first yellow card of the match. There he is now. Certainly want to go into record books for something more positive as he gets there moving forward. Campbell. Well, it's done well, Campbell. Still going. Well, the old Abra Kadabra, but no magic in the end as easy in the end for Christopher Bigger. Well, he just gives it up. Dexon needed a more decisive touch. Wasn't there? And Kaim Thomas will come away with it. Fluency in this matches. Certainly going out the door the last few minutes, but more physical than anything. Chavaranez Hamilton, Obiku. Esmuz, Harvey was the intended target. Didn't quite get him. Devonte Campbell, Anglin finding more space now and in behind Makala and Dexon. Well, thought it had 2-0 written all over it, but there was a deflection and they will have to settle for a corner. He's been dangerous, Dexon. Yeah, and certainly looks the most likely to score out of the 22 players on the pitch right now. Again, good bit of play by the Jamaicans. Paul is cut back at top. Clever run by Dexon. Really wasn't far off with that effort. Might have a second bite at the cherry. Well, that came across the face and Chavaranez Hamilton was the only one there to greet it. After he tackled from Kaim Thomas, shows that the path of Devonte Campbell ended exactly where it did. Trinidad and Tobago look set to make three changes. Jamal, Jack, Kali, Overy and Michael Shaves among those set to come in. Well, certainly had a good look. Couldn't get the right connection. So a 19 year old, a 17 year old and a 36 year old. All set to take the pitch for Trinidad and Tobago. But in the meantime, though, moves. Trying to get them back level. Unsuccessfully, heavy challenge there from Burns. Couldn't get away with it. Angus Evdo wasn't pleased about the referee's call. More changes for Jamaica. More changes for Trinidad and Tobago. Emilio Rosso will get his first appearance and he will replace Angeline, Sean Angeline and Seymour Smith as a next man in. And Suley Makala will see the end of his afternoon for Trinidad and Tobago. Robert Primus says, journey is done. In comes Jamal, Jack. Conker, Caribbean club winner, Central FC. Kali Overy replaces Kai Gavi, makes his debut. While the other debutant, Justin Obiku, will be replaced by the 17 year old, Michael Sheaves. Changes to the top left as Jamaica push forward. Heavy touch. Just taking it away from Angie Fletcher. Sheaves, of course, and Overy, 17 and 19 combined. Perhaps will give you the age of, will almost give you the age. The likes of Robert Primus and Jamal, Jack. Now there'll be a stoppage for an injury and it's perhaps the first time he's sat down. And Granger Sieve, assisted by Derek King and Reno Carrington. Good time to look at our Sportsmax moment, Sportsmax app moment. And, well, let's see. It's this man, Dixon. Slippery feet. Cool finish. Gregory Isaac would be proud. He's a cool ruler. Also, the man who gets our Sportsmax app moment. They love it. Hibbet. 19 years old. Was a 19th overall draft pick in the MLS. Of course, Trinidad and Tobago's Tyrese Spicer was the MLS number one draft pick. Could be number two for Jamaica though. Yeah. Well, certainly made a hash of clearing the danger. Then eventually give up a corner, a pressure being piled on by the reggae boys from the head, but he couldn't find a way to put them further ahead. Dixon that is accurate from the cranium as he was at his boot some moments ago. Burns will try to get more action going forward. Easy for Hibbet in the end. Thing for the Jamaicans. Certainly had the best of the exchanges in the second half. Lights of Alex Marshall and 19 year old Jaheem Dixon. Jaheem Dixon. Dixon of course made his name and being a prodigy in the Issa Schoolboy football, scoring a remarkable 32 goals. Hatchick in the rural area, Issa the Costa Cop football final as well. The guy, Clarendon College, the rezoning 62 charm for Glen Mahai. And hope it's just been replaced. We'll get a rest, but he certainly has done his job so far. Shanil Thomas is the man replacing him while Cal Ming of the league leaders, Cavaliers, will come in and he will replace Ricardo Thomas. And certainly have managed to deepen their pool recently the Jamaicans. Issa Schoolboy football has produced many stars for the, who's went on to the national team. Dixon, one of the latest. He bundles over Michael Sheaves, one of Chinadal and Tobago's latest. And of course our Dijon Whisper Richards certainly caught the eyes of many folks, including Chelsea, showing his Issa Schoolboy days. Here's another 19 year old, Hibbutt Burns. Sheaves, Caim Thomas. And Hibbutt is there, all gamer increasingly becoming stretched now, Jamaicans looking to exploit Kutry. Russell, has he found a way through here? Jason Wright tried to muscle his way through and get past trimming him. Thomas, heavy touch and possession. Kept it back to the Jamaicans. Full clock ticking down at the moment, the Reggae Boys. Looks sad to take a one-nil victory and Paul Spinalnes, so the Warriors can respond and they are responding to Kylie Overy. What a run that was. Certainly took Cal Ming for a sprint. Never want to sprint with Jamaicans. Always seem to win those battles. Moose. Well, this is flick torn. Dangerous area. Thomas trying to keep it alive and, well, just ran out of real estate in the end. Won by Jack Cunningham. And Rondo Gibson. So the moveable force. Until he was moved. Just said it's now or never for the so-called Warriors. Just seemed to lack the fluency of play through the middle. For Snow Alvin Jones, has remained on the bench. Being mocked as well on news today. Michelle Poonan, Angaron and Kevon Goddard. All not utilized by Angus Eve today. 22 seconds, remains of the 90 minutes. Four minutes says what will be added to that. So still time remaining. Perhaps the reggae boys to add more insult to injury. Soca Warriors to somehow find an equalizer in this match. Certainly got the resources to do it. Thomas got shaves ahead of him. Shaves made a delicious run ahead forward. Just looking for Thomas to release that one. Never came. Shaves again. Trying to run in behind, couldn't pick him out that time. How about that from Christopher Bigot? He's got a younger brother, former national, senior team goalkeeper, Cleon John. Got the Fox base in. And they could be in behind Devonte Campbell to make it two. Oh, what a stop that was from Bigot. Needed to be big. He was world-class save thereby. The defense force custodian. Had to get down low quickly, and he did do that. Again, being able to get past Boons, Campbell down, bearing down on Bigot's goal. It is a fine save by Bigot and goal. Easy could have made it 2-0. Instead, Bigot makes it one. Well, they're calling for a change for Liam Boons, and might just get a sight of Alvin Jones with the remaining one and a half minutes. Alvin Jones, of course, famous for the goal that knocked the U.S. out of World Cup contention. Several years ago, younger brother of former Seattle Songdas midfielder, Joven Jones. Come again, as Jones gets his first bit of action. It's a defensive motion. Inside the final minutes of what was gifted to us, Boons completing his debut. Heimer Algensen, undoubtedly will be the happy of the coaches at the end of 90 minutes. Of course, this contest, used by both teams to have a look at players, will be added to the squads for various competitions. And 90 minutes is over. And the Jamaicans hold a one-up advantage on the so-called Warriors. And it's a goal by Jaheem Dixon, the 19-year-old former schoolboy that separates them at the end of 90 minutes. A happy outing in Port of Spain for the Reggae Boys. Disappointing showing from the home team, so-called Warriors, here at the Hazley Crawford Stadium because at full-time, to make a lead by one goal to nil. Of course, these teams will meet again on Sunday in a second friendly international. That will take place at the Larry Goum Stadium. Of course, that match will be open to fans. This match, of course, was a closed-door encounter, so to speak, with preparations happening here at the Hazley Crawford Stadium for the Carrifter Games Childs, which takes place tomorrow. All right, enough of that. Let's look back at the 90 minutes and see some of the moments that made it also special. Started with the pleasantries and then the new faces, new blood being added for both these teams. Several players making debut, including that man to your right, Chevron S. Hamilton. Kim Thomas was the first to get the ball rolling, so to speak, and goalkeeper. Foster doing enough to lift it over the top. Later on, it was the man making his debut, Justin Abiku, just missing the mark, the top corner. And then Kim Thomas and Rondell Gibson, threatened from set pieces, remained goalless at halftime. Second half will see the Soco Warriors run flat. But guess who didn't? Reggae Boys and Dixon finding a way past Asian front-setting goal. The 19-year-old former Clarendon man getting a goal for the Jamaica senior team. What's mentioned of Dixon is a future talent, showing he's got all these skill sets and they certainly enjoyed it. And it was the Jamaicans who continued to threaten. Dixon again finding a way in behind, this time only finding the side netting. And at the close, perhaps one of the best chances of the match, felt at Avante Campbell. But the goalkeeper, Christopher Bigot, well, he was a big man in goal. One goal good enough for the Reggae Boys as they win this fixture by one goal to nil. All right, we're in numbers. Team, let me look at the numbers. And Jamaica overturning the first half advantage in terms of shots. They lead in the shots category. Shots on target, well, that went to them as well. Well, very physical game. 19 falls in total, 11 going to the Reggae Boys. And the saves, we'll turn it out on Tobago, making the majority of saves. One nil though to Jamaica. And that was enough for them to hold the advantage. Brent Sancho standing by with coach Angus Yves. Coach, yes, results wise, disappointing. But your assessment of the 90 minutes plus. I wasn't disappointed at all, actually. We had a lot of players out there who played at this level for the very, very first time. And I thought that they have quoted themselves very well. We were in the game for the most part. And we gave away a sloppy goal and that's the difference in the game. Well, you have been echoing sentiments for quite a long time about these sorts of games for our local players. What do you hope to achieve this weekend with the two friendlies that has begun? Well, to give people exposure, I realised we made minimum amount of changes because we wanted to expose the guys as much as possible. Young burns and these guys would have never played at this level before. So this is a good exercise for them to understand the pace of the game going forward. And then to give the guys who are more established a run out in going into the play out tournament. Well, not necessarily moving away from the team aspect of the game. Rondell Gibson, his performance today. Your thoughts? Yeah, he was good on the ball. When he came on, we started to believe a little bit more. He was not afraid to get on the ball. That's the type of players that we are looking for to be that brave and show themselves. And I think he definitely did change the game when he came on. Well, coach, all the best in the next fixture on Sunday. And of course, with that all-important game against Canada. Thanks, bro. I've now joined a coach. I know Coach Gordon results in these sorts of situations. Not really, Martin. You had a record 13 debutants here today this afternoon. One shot in particular in Young Dixon. Of course, a young man from Clariden College. Your assessment and his performance first? First of all, you know, games like this are always tough. When I get through that, you know, our friendly neighbors, but football-wise, you know, we've got a battle on the pitch. I think it was a good game. Both teams, I think, needed the same objective, you know, expose these boys as much as possible. And I think we got that. As you look forward to the second fixture on Sunday, what do you hope to get out of this weekend? I'm just going to keep exposing the guys. When you see a person like Caim on his debut score goal, that's amazing. That's the type of things you want. The transition from schoolboy football into international football. And I think he acquitted himself well. 13 changes. Young Jayden in the goal also, 17 years old. So it was very good for us. And we talk about drilling down into the game itself. Really came to life in the second half. What was it at halftime? It's just to tell the guys to stay on the front foot. I think the latter part of the first half kind of back off a bit and give Chin that some space to play. It's not our style, so we wanted to be on the front foot. Made some adjustments, made some changes, and it worked for us. Thank you very much, coach, and all the best on Sunday. And of course, all the best on an all-important conca-calf tie against the USA. Thank you, sir. Well, what a matchup. 1-0, the final score, Jamaica, Trinidad, and Tobago. Both coaches speaking to the benefits of the exposure that the young players got to mean. What does this mean for football in our region? Yeah, it's something that is definitely missing when you look at the national teams and across the region, not being able to play these kind of friendlies. Because we saw some of the players that both play in the JPL and in the TTPFL, being able to play this into the mistake. You learn from these sorts of games. Angus talk about leaving them in for that 90-minute period so they can get a full international game. This exercise, forget the score. The exercise is extremely important for the development of both players. You talk about the young personnel that has been on the show here this afternoon. On both camps, it's exceptional. It's great for the game, and it was good to see. And even from the secondary school's football level to be in the national level as well, really impressive. James, your thoughts? Yeah, I agree with Brent, and I agree with Coach Angus as well. An exercise where the score doesn't matter. You know, it's just an opportunity to give players who necessarily would not have been exposed to this level of football a runout. How well they acquitted themselves, well, that's up to them. But I think more games like these are necessary, particularly for Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica to play against each other regularly may have been undoubtedly the two best teams in the Caribbean and the highest level of football as well. Well, we look forward to Sunday, where we're actually going to have fans, so we encourage all the fans to come out and support your favorite, whether it's Trinidad and Tobago or Jamaica. But let's talk about Sunday. What would either coach want to do moving into that match-up? Well, I think both coaches would arguably feel their stronger lineup when you see the likes, of course, of Alvin Jones and Dwayne Mockett not starting. And of course, Karen Ming and others for Jamaica not starting. It would suggest that the stronger lineup have been not utilized here today. So expect to see, of course, a crowd that may be partisan for Trinidad and Tobago. They may up the tempo of the game and have a little bit more bite into it. And I think from that aspect of it, you may see a little bit higher tempo of football at the Larigoum Stadium. Well, James, you've been to all of the matches and you've seen the impact fans can have. Do you think the fans will have an impact on the game Sunday? Yeah, most definitely. And it's a week that we saw record crowds coming out to watch you on the 20-team play. And then we've got the senior team in action. I think it just augurs well for football here in the Caribbean, where they can see high-quality matches, top international teams coming. Never mind that many of the Jamaica players are locally-based players. Many people follow the JPL right here in Trinidad and Tobago. It's a good quality of football. And I expect that the fans will come out and make it the occasion that we expect. Well, whether it's TTPFL or JPL, you can get all the action on the Sportsmax app. This is where we wrap it up here at the Hazely Crawford Stadium. Join us on Sunday, Sunday 3rd March, Trinidad and Tobago versus Jamaica. Another match-up, we head to the Larigoum Stadium. Join us for the action live in the stadium, or live, right here on Sportsmax. On behalf of the entire team, thank you for watching. Final score today, Jamaica won. Trinidad and Tobago, nil.
