Outstanding performance
Antigua and Barbuda•AttackerAntigua and Barbuda overwhelmed Anguilla from the opening whistle, racking up 72% possession and a staggering 43 shots to just 3 for their opponents. D'Andre Bishop was the standout performer, netting twice either side of halftime to put the result beyond doubt, while Sean Tomlinson added a late third in the 74th minute to cap off a emphatic display. Anguilla's goalkeeper made 13 saves to keep the scoreline respectable, but with zero shots on target and only 16 dangerous attacks compared to Antigua's 68, the home side never looked like finding a way back into the game. The result continues Antigua and Barbuda's strong recent form and underlines the gulf in class between the two sides in this Nations League group.
How entertaining was this match?
Anguilla look to salvage pride against Antigua and Barbuda just days after a humiliating 5-0 defeat marred by a bizarre hair-pulling red card incident. With both sides in Group B of League C, Antigua and Barbuda will aim to confirm their dominance, while Anguilla desperately need a response.
