An own goal in the 16th minute broke the deadlock after an Elite forward forced a defensive error with a clinical cross into the box. Throughout the first half, the Caymanian backline neutralized long-ball attempts and maintained a rigid structure that kept the British Virgin Islands champions at bay. The lead doubled in the 56th minute when Barry-Dre Tibbetts curled a precise free-kick around the wall, effectively securing the result.
While the tournament run ended two days later following a 2-0 loss to the professional Dominican Republic side Delfines del Este FC, the performance signaled Elite SC’s competitiveness at the international level. The club returns to the Cayman Islands having demonstrated the discipline and set-piece execution necessary to challenge professional regional opponents.
