The Saint Lucia national men’s football team, known as the Piton Boyz, find themselves at the bottom of Group A in the Concacaf Friendly Series following consecutive defeats. Their latest setback came on November 15, when they suffered a 3-1 loss to St Vincent & the Grenadines (SVG) at Estadio Cibao in Santiago, Dominican Republic. This result compounded their earlier 3-0 defeat to Cuba, leaving the team with significant challenges to address ahead of their next matches in March 2024. SVG, on the other hand, managed to split their two away games, showcasing a more resilient performance. The match saw Vincentian captain Oalex Anderson open the scoring in the 12th minute, followed by a quick second goal from Diel Spring. Saint Lucia’s captain, Caniggia Elva, pulled one back before halftime, but Azhino Solomon’s 62nd-minute strike sealed the win for SVG. The series, designed to keep teams eliminated from 2026 World Cup qualifying engaged during FIFA international windows, also saw Cuba secure a 2-0 victory over Martinique in another Group A fixture. SVG’s head coach, Ezra Hendrickson, praised his team’s development and dominance in the match against Saint Lucia, highlighting their ability to control the game from the outset.
