The Senior Men\u2019s National Football Team had one of\u00a0the better showings in recent times, but couldn\u2019t convert on their chances as they played o a\u00a0goalless draw with Sint Maarten as the Concacaf Series resumed in the Dominican Republic\u00a0Monday night.<\/p>\n

Coming off a 2-nil defeat to Guyana and a defeat against Sint Maarten in the first leg of the\u00a0tournament in St Kitts in 2025, the national team started off strongly in the first half creating\u00a0pressure and chances.<\/p>\n

The team suffered a setback with first half injuries to midfielders Briel Thomas and Dhamario\u00a0Challenger but the substitute players Eustace Marshall and Lyan Edwards kept the intensity\u00a0going as Dominica clearly took the first half.<\/p>\n

Dominica came out hard again in the second half, and forced the Sint Maarten goal keeper\u00a0into a number of saves.<\/p>\n

Audel Laville, Troy Jules and Marcus Bredas all saw their efforts parried away by the Sint\u00a0Maarten custodian.<\/p>\n

Despite all the pressure, dominance in possession and number of shots of target, Dominica\u00a0couldn\u2019t break the deadlock and the match ended in a 0-0 draw.<\/p>\n

Dominica ends their campaign in the Concacaf Series with defeats to Sint Maarten and Saint\u00a0Martin in 2025 in St Kitts, and a defeat to Guyana and a draw with Sint Maarten in the\u00a0Dominican Republic in 2026.<\/p>\n
