The senior selection of Saint-Barthélemy received their Saint-Martin counterparts last Sunday as part of a friendly match, a sort of dress rehearsal for them before their official meeting organized by CONCACAF, this Saturday, March 23, in Anguilla, against Sint -Maarten.
Although friendly, the commitment of the two teams was nonetheless taken very seriously.
And it was Saint-Barth who opened the scoring in the 9th minute with a goal that spoke volumes about the desire of the scorer of the previous Selection match who had made the trip to Sint-Maarten, since it is a news time Anthony Maxor who was at the finish.
Six minutes later, Saint-Martin equalized on a penalty ...
What to break the morale of the players of Saint-Barth? Immediate response from Ze Gato… 3 minutes later.
But far from being satisfied with this lead, in the 30th minute, it was Dora-Bruno Guimaraes, served by Anthony who deceived the opposing goalkeeper.
Good and less good…
Back from the locker room, Saint-Martin surprised the local rear guard and reduced the brand (48th).
Saint-Martin sets its pace and logically returns to the score at the start of the last quarter of an hour.
But that was without counting on the beautiful reaction of pride from the local eleven who ended up taking the definitive advantage thanks to his striker, Peter Beniseau (84th).
Final score: 4 to 3! A very satisfactory result for the selection of Saint-Barth and a good training gallop for Saint-Martin who will play on Saturday 23 March, his last Nations League match against… Sint-Maarten at the Raymond Guishard Stadium in Anguilla.
