This match within the framework of the CONCACAF Nations League saw Guyana taking the upper hand with a 3-1 victory over Antigua and Barbuda in an eventful game.

Within the first half, the tide of the game was apparent with Guyana aggressively scoring three goals within approximately 33 minutes. The away team dominated the game from the early on, with the first goal put in the net at 13:34, followed by two more at 28:08 and 32:50, respectively. Antigua and Barbuda managed to retaliate with one goal shortly before the first half ended at 44:34 but unfortunately couldn’t sustain the momentum.

It is worthwhile to point out that despite the three goals, Guyana had no corner kicks during the entire game while Antigua and Barbuda had one. This might hint at the effectiveness of Guyana's direct play, which focused on attacking the opponent's goal rather than exerting pressure from the flanks. The lack of corner kicks for Guyana also indicates a lesser reliance on crosses into the penalty area, favouring instead a direct and possibly more fluid (or counter-attacking) style of play.

One statistic that stood out is the low number of fouls committed by both teams. Antigua and Barbuda conceded only two fouls and Guyana three. Such low foul statistics suggest a clean game where both teams were focused on their gameplay rather than resorting to disruptive tactics. It also could indicate effective officiating by the referee, controlling the match without needing to constantly intervene. Both teams received one yellow card each during the first half, showing the discipline maintained by both teams throughout the match. The absence of red cards also serves as a testament to this.

In terms of substitutions data which could provide further insights into the game strategy related to fresh legs or injury issues, unfortunately we do not have the detailed information in the current dataset.

Overall, this game was primarily determined by Guyana’s aggressive play in the first half which set them for a comfortable lead, and despite a goal from Antigua and Barbuda, the home team wasn’t able to overcome the early deficit.
