Trinidad and Tobago’s men’s football team concluded their FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign with a 2-2 draw against Bermuda at the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Mucurapo on November 18. The match, which was meant to be a celebratory farewell for veterans Marvin Phillip and captain Kevin Molino, turned into a tense battle as Bermuda scored twice in five minutes to take a surprising 2-1 lead. Nathaniel James equalized for the hosts in the 66th minute, but the team’s inability to secure a win left coach Dwight Yorke lamenting their lack of finishing prowess. Trinidad and Tobago finished third in Group B of the Concacaf final round with seven points, having drawn four of their six matches. Yorke acknowledged the team’s effort throughout the campaign but expressed disappointment with their final performance, calling it their worst under his leadership. The match was also marred by confusion over the scoreline, with many fans and online platforms initially believing Bermuda’s second goal had been disallowed. Despite the setbacks, Yorke remains optimistic about the team’s future, highlighting the potential of players like Levi Garcia and the benefits of recent international experience. He emphasized the need for improved preparation and a more ruthless approach in future campaigns.
