A second-half penalty conversion from Azinho Solomon helped Saint Vincent and the Grenadines earn a 1-0 victory over French Guiana to open Matchday 2 of 2019\/20 CONCACAF Nations League Qualifying on Thursday night at the Stade Municipal Dr. Edmard Lama in Cayenne.<\/p>\n
Following a 2-0 at home to Nicaragua on Matchday 1, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines\u2019 record in the CNL now stands at 1W-0D-1L, 3 points, with the win.<\/p>\n
After Thursday\u2019s result, combined with its 5-0 Matchday 1 win at Anguilla, French Guiana\u2019s record is also 1W-0D-1L, 3 points.<\/p>\n
The visitors enjoyed a solid start and had a pair of early looks but was unable to find the target. Les Yana Dokos also mustered a chance midway through the half but saw a header miss wide.<\/p>\n
An error from the French Guiana defense on the hour mark would prove to be decisive, as a mis-hit back pass from Gregory Lescot allowed Chevin Cunningham to swoop in and steal the ball.<\/p>\n
The Saint Vincent and Grenadines FW was then taken down by French Guiana GK Donovan Leon in the area, resulting in a penalty.<\/p>\n
A minute later Solomon stepped up and coolly slotted home a left-footed shot to give Vincy Heat the 1-0 advantage.<\/p>\n
From there the Saint Vincent and Grenadines defense anchored by GK Kevan Henry took over and snuffed out any French Guiana chances to seal the three points.<\/p>\n
