The breakthrough came in the 36th minute when Gadail Irving produced a moment of brilliance. His curling free kick left the goalkeeper helpless and sent the home fans into celebration as Mount Pleasant grabbed a deserved lead.

Edwards and Biggs seal the deal

Mount Pleasant doubled their advantage in the 63rd minute. Raheem Edwards displayed composure and vision, rounding the goalkeeper before squaring the ball to Ranaldo Biggs, who calmly slotted home to make it 2-0.

The victory capped a perfect group campaign for the Jamaican side, who collected all 12 available points, with Mount Pleasant finishing the group stage boasting seven goals scored and none conceded.

O&M FC through despite defeat

While the loss ended O&M’s group stage on a sour note, the Dominican Republic club still advanced as Group A’s second-place finisher. They will now set up a mouthwatering semi-final clash against domestic rivals Cibao FC.

Mount Pleasant, meanwhile, will face the runner-up from Group B as they continue their quest for Caribbean glory.
