Cavalier met Salcedo in the second group stage of the CONCACAF Club Championship Caribbean section on Thursday, and the match finished 0-0. The result leaves both sides with a point each after this encounter at the Group Stage 2 fixture.
And here's the thing about games like this — you remember the moments, not the minutes. By then, the yellow card for S. Watson at twenty-one minutes had set a tone. Salas picked up a booking at twenty-nine, and the match settled into something neither side could quite break open. There were chances, or at least the attempt at them, but nothing that carried across the line.
Cavalier brought on R. Wright at fifty-six minutes, then doubled the change with D. Allen and R. Thomas both coming on at sixty-four. Salcedo responded at seventy-five with S. Ramos Lopez and A. Gomez, but the substitutions didn't shift the balance. J. L. Alegria Flores joined the yellow card tally at seventy-one, and San Millan saw his card at ninety-four, closing out a match that refused to find a winner.
The numbers tell part of the story. Cavalier registered ninety-nine attacks against Salcedo's one hundred and ten, while possession tilted toward the visitors at fifty-six per cent. Shots told a different tale — five on target for the hosts against three for Salcedo, but accuracy separated them more than volume. And here's the thing, four off-target strikes for Cavalier versus six for Salcedo showed neither side could quite find the net.
That point matters in a group where every match counts. Both sides had come into this with mixed form — Cavalier's last result was a goalless draw with Cibao, while Salcedo had beaten Portmor United 2-1 earlier in August. The stalemate means neither side gains ground, and the group standings will depend on what follows.
