T&T 6 - SVG 0

Sub­sti­tute Trevin Cae­sar scored a late brace as T&T So­ca War­riors con­tin­ued their march to­wards the six-team Con­ca­caf Fi­nal Round of Qual­i­fiers with an em­phat­ic 6-0 win over St Vin­cent and The Grenadines at the Hase­ly Craw­ford Sta­di­um, Mu­cu­rapo, yes­ter­day.

In ad­di­tion to Cae­sar, de­fend­er Shel­don Bateau, Jo­evin Jones, Ken­wyne Jones and Kevin Moli­no were all on tar­get for the So­ca War­riors who now lead their Group C semi­fi­nal round group with ten points from four match­es.

The win for the Stephen Hart-coached T&T squad al­so comes four days af­ter it laboured in a 3-2 win over the same op­po­nents at the Arnos Vales Sports Com­plex, Kingstown, St Vin­cent.

USA is next with sev­en points af­ter it thrashed Guatemala 4-0 in yes­ter­day's oth­er Group C match to leave the Cen­tral Amer­i­cans third with six points.

St Vin­cent and The Grenadines are bot­tom of the group with­out a point, and out of con­tention to ad­vance.

From the first blow of Do­mini­can Re­pub­lic ref­er­ee Sandy Var­gas' whis­tle, the hosts stamped their au­thor­i­ty with USA-based Moli­no com­ing close to an open­er in­side the first 45 sec­onds, off a right sided cen­tre from Jones.

It seemed just a mat­ter of time be­fore T&T opened the scor­ing and in the 35th minute de­fend­er Shel­don Bateau fi­nal­ly put T&T ahead when he fol­lowed up on a shot by Jo­evin Jones which was par­ried down in­to his path by goal­keep­er Lemus Christo­pher and fired in­to an open goal.

Just be­fore the half-time whis­tle it was Jo­evin Jones again who al­most made it 2-0, but his scorcher or a left foot­ed from a lay off by Ken­wyne Jones just missed the far post af­ter a fast-break start­ed by a a surg­ing Hoyte run down the right side.

Five min­utes in­to the sec­ond-half Jo­evin Jones made it 2-0 when he weaved down the right flank, cut in­side on his favoured left foot and fired past Christo­pher on his first post.

Moli­no was then put through af­ter Hy­land won the ball and fed it to Jo­evin Jones, but he al­so failed to score. Sec­onds lat­er the hard work­ing Jones (J) even­tu­al­ly made it 3-0 when he side-foot­ed home from close range off a Hy­land right sided cen­tre.

Moli­no then added his name to the score­sheet with a calm fin­ish un­der the ad­vanc­ing Christo­pher in the 67th minute be­fore sub­sti­tute Trevin Cae­sar who re­placed Moli­no in the 71st minute added two goals of his own in the 86th and 89th minute with clin­i­cal fin­ish­es to com­plete the 6-0 spank­ing.

T&T next en­ter­tains Guatemala on Sep­tem­ber 2nd with a point in that match seal­ing qual­i­fi­ca­tion ahead of its fi­nal match away to USA, four days lat­er.
