Sint Maarten nearly equalized in the 67’ but was denied on a goal-line clearance followed by a Chovanie Amatkarijo attempt bouncing off the right post. Williams completed his hat-trick in the 68’ as Saint Kitts and Nevis used a quick counterattack to extend its lead. Imar Kort took one back for Sint Maarten in the 79’ after GK Julani Archibald could not contain a potent shot from and Amatkarijo free kick. The visitors withstood the late Sint Maarten rally to gain its first victory of the campaign.
