VI draw 1-1 with Dominica in CONCACAF Nations League

GROS ISLET, St Lucia- The [British] Virgin Islands (VI) seemed on course to recording their first-ever win against Dominica when they met at the Beausejour Stadium in St Lucia in the CONCACAF Nations League today, Thursday, October 12, 2023; however, they had to settle for a 1-1 draw in a game that unfortunately saw a Dominica player suffer a fractured leg and Carlos Septus of the VI sent off.

It's Chalwell again!

The Virgin Islands, hunting their first win in 10 meetings against Dominica, open the scoring in the 28th minute through Luka E. Challwell, who did well to chest control a long aerial ball from way behind the halfway line and then shoot it past the goalkeeper and skipper, Glenson Prince.

It was Chalwell’s 3rd goal in the CONCACAF Nations League, as the Virgin Islands’ first professional signing had scored a double in the historic 3-1 against Turks and Caicos Islands at A. O. Shirley Grounds on Tortola on September 9, 2023.

Chances for VI!

The VI boys should have been 2-nil up in the 37th minute when Chalwell was fed the ball through the middle by Tyler Forbes but after getting past the goalkeeper he could not wrap his foot around the ball to put it in an empty net.

Dominica also had a chance in the 43rd minute to level the game when Julian Wade missed from close range with an attempted header.
