Match report
Curaçao recorded a 1-0 win for Curaçao over Trinidad and Tobago in the CONCACAF Nations League on Thursday, October 1, after the teams reached half-time at 0-0. The scoring was limited to one goal for Curaçao and no goals for Trinidad and Tobago, with one goal in all. The result settled a match in which the possession share favoured Trinidad and Tobago, while Curaçao registered more attempts and more efforts on target.
The figures point to a clear distinction between control of the ball and the attempts recorded. Trinidad and Tobago held 59% possession, against 41% for Curaçao, but Curaçao led the shot counts and the corner count. That contrast is the central statistical feature of the match: the side with less possession finished with the win, while the side with more possession did not score.
How it unfolded
The teams went in level at 0-0; Curaçao then finished the match with one goal, and Trinidad and Tobago with no goals. The available score details establish the final scoring outcome but do not give the timing of the goal, so there is no basis for placing it at a particular point in the second half. Curaçao's goal proved decisive in the final score of 1-0.
