Trinidad and Tobago fought back from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Grenada in their opening match of 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying.<\/p>\n
Angus Eve’s men fell behind in the 24th minute when Myles Hippolyte converted a controversial penalty awarded by referee Mario Escobar of Guatemala.<\/p>\n
Four minutes later, the T&T defence failed to deal effectively with another Grenada attack with Hippolyte smashing a volley home from outside the area.<\/p>\n
Grenada failed to add a third goal despite several excellent chances before Trinidad and Tobago roared back late in the first half.<\/p>\n
Levi Garcia combined well with Noah Powder who slid in a return pass for Ryan Telfer to fire into the back of the net.<\/p>\n
Trinidad and Tobago, despite losing Garcia in the second half to an injury, turned in a better performance in the second half.<\/p>\n
They drew level in the 74th minute with a long ball that Telfer headed into the pathway of Reon Moore.<\/p>\n
The Pacific FC striker took the ball beyond the last defender and smashed it in at the near post to draw T&T level at 2-2.<\/p>\n
Both teams had chances to win the game in the last few minutes but the score stayed at 2-2.<\/p>\n
Trinidad and Tobago will play the Bahamas on 8 June with Grenada taking on \u00a0Costa Rica on 9 June.<\/p>\n
Grenada’s last win in international play came against St Vincent and the Grenadines in October 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
