Bonaire fell to St Kitts and Nevis 1-2 in their CONCACAF Nations League B encounter in stage three on 26 September. The visitors took control early when Jona Sonnenschein opened the scoring after just seven minutes, and T. Williams added a second before half-time to put the result beyond doubt.
And here's the thing — Bonaire pushed for a reply but could not find the net. T. Williams doubled his tally in the 89th minute to seal the victory, while Christopher Alexander Isenia saw red in stoppage time as the hosts' hopes faded further. Shedwin Martina and Robin Cijntje had already been booked in the first half.
St Kitts and Nevis controlled much of the contest, holding 68 per cent possession to Bonaire's 32. The visitors registered six shots on target compared to four for the hosts, though neither side created many clear opportunities — both teams finished with zero big chances. Bonaire made more clearances, 29 to 13, suggesting they spent time defending deep.
The match brought several changes from both sides. Milan Blanken was replaced at half-time for Bonaire, while St Kitts and Nevis made three substitutions around the hour mark — Suerainy Coffy, Omari Sterling James, and Harry Panayiotou all came on. Further changes followed, including Romaine Sawyers and Tyreece Simpson for the visitors.
By then the result was already decided, and the late red card effectively ended any remaining contest. Bonaire had lost their previous three fixtures, including defeats to the British Virgin Islands and St Martin, while St Kitts and Nevis were coming off a win against the Solomon Islands in March.
The defeat leaves Bonaire with a poor run that needs addressing. Three losses in a row, including this away defeat, means they have work to do in League B. St Kitts and Nevis, meanwhile, showed they can take points away from home — something that could matter more as the group stage progresses.
