Turks and Caicos Islands 1-1 Anguilla (Anguilla advance 4-3 in PKs)

For the first ever, Anguilla have reached the Second Round of qualifying after defeating Turks and Caicos Islands 4-3 in a penalty shootout following their 1-1 draw in the second leg at the TCIFA National Academy in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands.

After the 0-0 draw in the first leg in Anguilla, Tuesday’s 1-1 draw after 90 minutes resulted in extra time and eventually penalty kicks, where Anguilla proved superior from the spot.

Turks and Caicos Islands were first to take the lead, as all-time top appearances and goalscorer Billy Forbes scored his second career World Cup Qualifying goal in the 23’ for a 1-0 lead.

But Anguilla would not be denied, and right before halftime Luke Paris converted from the penalty spot to even the score at 1-1. It was Anguilla’s first goal in qualifying since 2000 against the Bahamas.

No other goals could be found in regular time nor in extra time, so the teams went to spot to determine the winner. In the end, Anguilla emerged victorious 4-3 with Kian Duncan converting the winning penalty to send Anguilla to Group E of the Second Round of qualifying where they will take on El Salvador, Suriname, Puerto Rico and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
