HAVANA (Interstat) — Cuba and Saint Kitts and Nevis played to a 2-2 draw Monday, with Daniel Diaz scoring in the 90th minute to rescue the home side after Tiquanny Williams had scored twice for the visitors. The result left both teams unbeaten but still seeking a first win in the competition, each at 0 wins, 0 losses and 2 draws in the group and across all competitions.

Williams was the game’s most influential attacker, scoring both of Saint Kitts and Nevis’s goals. Kyle Kelly recorded an assist. Diaz scored Cuba’s late equalizer after entering as a substitute. Dairon Reyes provided the assist on Diaz’s goal. Yunior Perez scored Cuba’s other goal. The sequence gave the match a dramatic finish after the visitors had twice taken the lead.

Williams opened the scoring in the 16th minute, finishing a move that Kelly helped create. Kelly’s assist came during a bright start for Saint Kitts and Nevis, which pressed forward and found space behind Cuba’s midfield. Cuba answered in the 25th minute when Yunior Perez scored, leveling the match and changing the tempo after an early spell of pressure from the visitors. Perez played 85 minutes before being substituted, and his goal gave Cuba a foothold.

The match was physical at times. Cuba’s Camejo M. received a yellow card in the 26th minute. Saint Kitts and Nevis’s Browne R. was booked in the 57th minute. In the 62nd minute, Cuba’s Perez K. and Morgado Batista I. d. J. were each shown yellow cards. The cautions added stoppages and disrupted rhythm as both teams tried to manage the closing stages.

Cuba’s pressure grew after the break, with the hosts moving the ball quickly through midfield and forcing Saint Kitts and Nevis to defend deeper. The visitors looked to counter, but Cuba’s growing control set up a tense finish.

Both teams made changes as the second half progressed. Saint Kitts and Nevis sent on Mitchum Y. in the 55th minute, then used Sterling-James O. and Wharton T. in the 61st. Cuba responded with Paradela L. in the 64th and Camejo M. in the 74th. Saint Kitts and Nevis brought on Sawyers R. in the 80th. Cuba made a double change in the 85th, with Perez Y. Y. and Perez K. coming off. The substitutions reflected the game’s shifting demands, though the final moments belonged to Cuba as it chased an equalizer.

Williams struck again later to restore Saint Kitts and Nevis’s advantage. The forward’s second goal completed a brace and made him the game’s most influential attacker. Cuba pushed for another equalizer, cycling possession and looking for gaps around the penalty area. The hosts’ persistence finally paid off in the 90th minute, when Dairon Reyes delivered an assist and Diaz converted. Diaz, who entered the match and played 26 minutes, scored the late goal that secured the draw.

Saint Kitts and Nevis had entered the match after a draw in its previous outing this season, and Cuba carried the same result into Monday’s game. The teams traded goals and momentum without either side finding a winner. Saint Kitts and Nevis’s record in the competition remained 0 wins, 0 losses and 2 draws, and Cuba’s competition record also stood at 0 wins, 0 losses and 2 draws. Their overall records this season matched that line as well, with two draws apiece and no wins or losses. The draw left both teams still level in the competition and without a victory after two matches.

Interstat’s game simulator had projected a final score of Cuba 5, Saint Kitts and Nevis 5. Interstat’s ELO system had given Cuba a 65.3 percent probability to win. The actual match produced a tighter, lower-scoring draw, with Williams’s brace and Diaz’s late finish defining the night.
