PivotalBelize controlled the ball for long stretches, edging possession 53-47 and out-passing their visitors, but struggled to turn that control into clear-cut chances, managing just one shot on target all match. French Guiana, by contrast, were far more clinical in the final third, firing five shots on target from thirteen attempts and making their pressure count through a double substitution change that shifted the game's momentum after the hour mark. Guy Anakaba and Jules Haabo, both introduced as second-half substitutes, combined to decide the contest with goals in the 78th and 84th minutes respectively, exploiting a tiring Belize defense late on. For Belize, sitting 18th with poor recent form, this defeat deepens their struggles, while French Guiana's disciplined, efficient display offers a confidence boost heading into their next fixture.
