Cavalier, Moca seek to maintain group leads in Caribbean Cup | OneFootball

MIAMI – The 2024 Concacaf Caribbean Cup resumes following the September FIFA international break, with eight teams looking to earn points in their hopes of lifting this year’s trophy.

Two matches will highlight Tuesday’s action as AC Port of Spain hosts Grenades FC and Cavalier FC faces Real Hope FA. Moca FC and Ouanaminthe FC will clash on Wednesday and Miscellaneous Police FC versus Arnett Gardens FC will conclude the matchweek on Thursday.

The four upcoming matches will all feature first-time encounters in the Caribbean Cup.

AC Port of Spain vs. Grenades FC

AC Port of Spain will pursue its first victory of the campaign when it hosts Grenades FC in Group B on Tuesday at Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.

Playing its first home match in the 2024 edition, AC Port of Spain will look to overturn two losses in its opening encounters. John-Paul Rochford leads the team in scoring with a brace in the previous match against Moca.

Grenades FC started its season with a 2-1 loss at Cibao FC. The Antigua and Barbuda side will look to regain the tournament form that led it to a runners-up finish in the 2024 CFU Club Shield. Sherman Augustin found the back of the net for Grenades in the team’s first outing.

Cavalier FC vs. Real Hope FA

Cavalier FC seeks to maintain its first place standing in Group A when it faces Real Hope FA on Tuesday at the National Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica.

The only side to start 2-0-0 in the current edition, Cavalier FC has its sights on becoming the first side to secure a spot in the semifinals. They can inch closer to qualification with a third consecutive victory. Shaquille Stein leads the team with three goals in the current campaign.

Real Hope FC looks to build on a point earned in its 1-1 draw against Miscellaneous Police FC. Angelo Exilus has scored the team’s lone goal.

Moca FC vs. Ouanaminthe FC

Moca FC looks to extend its lead atop Group B in Ouanaminthe FC on Wednesday at Estadio Moca 85 in Moca, Dominican Republic.

Alan Aciar, Gustavo Ascona, and Clifford Thomas led Moca to a 3-2 comeback victory at home against AC Port of Spain. Goalkeeper and captain Miguel Báez has also been a factor for Moca with seven saves and one clean sheet through the opening two matches, which includes a nil-nil draw at Cibao FC.

Ouanaminthe FC returns to Moca, where it hosted the 1-1 draw against Port of Spain to open its campaign. Joseph Willinx struck the tying goal to rescue a point in the club’s opening encounter.

Miscellaneous Police FC vs. Arnett Gardens FC

Miscellaneous Police FC will play for its first win in Group A when it welcomes Arnett Gardens FC on Thursday at Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.

After two away defeats to start the tournament, Police FC hopes to translate a home field advantage into a victory. Kwesi Allen and Kevon Woodley lead the team with a goal apiece.

After winning the 2024 CFU Club Shield, Arnett Gardens lost its opening encounter against fellow Jamaican side Mount Pleasant FA. Shai Smith leads the team’s goal after striking once in the club’s tournament debut.
