Saint Vincent and the Grenadines upset Grenada 2-1 in a CONCACAF group E match. The game had been rescheduled from Sept. 6th.
Teenager Myron Samuel opened the scoring for the hosts in the 27th minute. The 18-year-old, who has appeared in a reserve match for the Seattle Sounders, scored his fourth career international goal.
The home side then made sure of the points in the second half. Star player and midfielder Cornelius Stewart of the club side Vancouver Whitecaps knocked a shot home in the 71st minute. Grenada pulled a goal back late through Cassim Langaigne, but St. Vincent and the Grenadines held on to pull off a shocking win.
The loss now leaves the top seed in the group Grenada in shambles. Expected to contend with Guatemala for first in the group, the Caribbean outfit has lost its opening two matches, including a 3-0 home loss to Belize.
Meanwhile, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines now sits in third place with three points from its opening two matches. A home date against favorites Guatemala is next on the docket, and is a must win if the side has any hope of claiming the top spot.
