TRINIDAD and Tobago’s senior men’s footballers suffered a heavy 4-0 defeat to Ghana in their Unity Cup third-place playoff match at Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium, London, on May 31.
Goals from Jordan Ayew (6th), Razak Simpson (12th), Mohammed Gadafi Fuseini (42nd) and Lawrence Agyekum (58th) sealed a dominant win for the Black Stars. AC Port of Spain’s Duane Muckette, a rare spark in TT’s otherwise flat-footed midfield, came closest to scoring for the Warriors, rattling the upright with a powerful effort in the 25th.
