Outstanding performance
Bonaire•MidfielderGrenada started brightly, taking an 11th-minute lead through Benjamin Ettienne and controlling the ball for long stretches with 54% possession and ten corners to Bonaire's three. But Railey Martijn's immediate equalizer just two minutes later set the tone for a night where Grenada's dominance counted for little. Bonaire needed just six shots on target from eleven attempts to score four times, while Grenada managed only two shots on target from twelve efforts and were punished for their profligacy. Goals from Berry Sonnenschein, Myron Bostdorp, and Ayrton Cicilia in the second half turned a tight contest into a comfortable away win, with Bonaire's defensive work rate - doubling Grenada's tackle count at 20 to 10 - snuffing out any hopes of a home comeback. For Grenada, this will sting given their status as favorites and heavy territorial control; for Bonaire, it's a statement result that will boost confidence heading into their remaining Nations League fixtures.
How entertaining was this match?
Just four days after a dramatic 3-2 comeback win over Bonaire, Grenada get an immediate chance to do it again in League B action. Bonaire remain winless and bottom of the group, while Grenada look to build momentum after erasing a two-goal halftime deficit last time out.
