Takeaways:

None. It’s fricking Barbados.

Really though…

Figueroa looked fricking stellar. Physical, ridiculous pace, good weight on passes.

Medina had a hatty and could have scored at least three more with better shots. Otherwise he was dangerous as frick in space and pulled strings well, along with putting in great service on set pieces all night. MOTM

ASG looked great. You can tell he is top drawer at his age. Mature, unpredictable, accurate passing. Takes up spaces very well, and plays the smart ball every single time. Would like to have seen him let a few rip.

Carmona stretched the wing all night. Excellent play from him. Great penetrating runs into the box with the ball.

Lots of others looked good, especially the CBs. Snuffed out all trouble, held Barbados to two poor shots.

Result updated in OP.

Micah Burton with the opener after an ugly defensive set piece by TnT.

They couldn’t clear the ball, the Baby NATs DID score!

1-0

Baby NATs running rampant! Rudisill scores off a cross from inside the box by Jura.

2-0 in the 15th minute

Definitely U-17s out there. Poor, POOR cross from Burton (it looked like) across the box to Habroune who taps it in after the defender mucks up the breakup.

3-0 in the 25th minute

TnT has controlled much of the second half, and an unmarked man at the top of the box hits an incredible lower 90 strike for a goal.

3-1 in the 77th minute

ETA: 3-1 FT

OP updated

Baby NATs dominating possession early. Skill is really showing in terms of passing and breaking down the defense in the first 10 mins.

Medina and a few others peppering the box for the last 5-10 minutes, and just after the hour mark Vazquez heads in a goal inside the six off of great service. Couldn’t tell who sent the ball in.

1-0 good guys.

Edit: Vasquez assisted Vazquez.

That was Figueroa on the header not long after entering. Nice ball in by Vasquez.

I’ll leave my mistake, but going back and watching it, it happened the other way around. Figgy to Vazquez.

Either way, there is some damn good talent coming through the ranks at all levels of the field in this age group.

I like Figueroa a lot.

Hopefully some Honduran cartel doesn't hold Maynor hostage until his son chooses to play for Honduras.
