Antigua and Barbuda rallied to their first win in League B, Group E of the ongoing 2025 Concacaf Boys Under-15 Championship being held in Aruba when, on Wednesday, they beat Barbados 3-0 at the Stadion Centro Deportivo José Wever in Savaneta.
Jamil Thomas had opened the scoring for Antigua and Barbuda before Robert Jeffrey doubled the team’s advantage. Kharique Joseph rounded off Antigua and Barbuda’s scoring from the penalty spot as the young Benna Boys moves to four points after three showings.
Twenty-four hours earlier, Antigua and Barbuda were beaten 2-0 by Trinidad and Tobago and had a scoreless draw against Bermuda in their opening clash.
In their loss to Trinidad and Tobago, Aaden Jones opened the scoring in the 20th for the opponents as his strike bounced off the crossbar and into the back of the net. Antigua and Barbuda kept it close with hopes of finding an equalizer but instead it was Trinidad and Tobago that scored.
In the 66’, Adasa Richardson unleashed a rocket from distance to put the stamp on a big win in the group.
