Dominica's senior men's national football team suffered a heavy 8-1 defeat to Guyana in their CONCACAF Nations League League B encounter on Sunday in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico.
The team, known as the Bouyon Boyz, trailed 4-0 at half-time and conceded four more goals after the break as Guyana ran out comfortable winners. The result leaves Dominica with a difficult position in their League B campaign.
Dominica struggled to contain Guyana throughout the match, with defensive errors and a lack of attacking threat contributing to the lopsided scoreline. The half-time deficit of four goals already placed the match beyond reach, and the second half brought little relief as Guyana continued to find the net.
The defeat is one of the heaviest in recent memory for the national side and will raise questions about preparations and squad depth ahead of upcoming fixtures. Dominica's coaching staff will need to regroup quickly as the Nations League schedule continues.
Guyana, meanwhile, will take confidence from a dominant performance that strengthens their position in the group. Their attacking efficiency was evident as they converted chances consistently across both halves.
Dominica's players and supporters will be disappointed with the result, which came in a competitive regional tournament that offers valuable experience against higher-ranked opposition. The team will look to respond in their next outing.
Further details on the match, including goalscorers and post-match comments, were not immediately available. Dominica 1 will provide updates as more information is confirmed.
