00:00Curacao effectively ended TNT's World Cup qualification campaign and now they have the
00:05opportunity to sink TNT closer to League A relegation. As joint group leaders Curacao
00:10were already motivated but had a boisterous home support as well. TNT yet again unable to feel the
00:17same 11 made seven changes and also lost skipper Levi Garcia to injury. Some brilliant shots
00:23stopping from Denzel Smith kept TNT on even terms after 45 minutes but Smith was finally beaten just
00:30before the hour mark. And Curacao have taken the lead a sucker punch scored against Nicaragua assisted
00:39against Costa Rica and has now scored against TNT. Hopes of an equalizer was made tougher when Dante
00:44Gilbert saw red. Again referee has gone back to the pocket and it's his second yellow card for Gilbert
00:50and he's been sent to the showers. Red card for Dante Gilbert. It was the first challenge.
00:58Referee didn't buy and the second challenge on Cominencia was high and needless. And it almost
01:05got worse for TNT. Penalty. Closed in on Chong and the left-footed playmaker. But Denzel Smith showed
01:15why he was TNT's best player on the night. Denzel Smith to the stadium.
01:23That goal denial could factor into goal difference if required as TNT sunk to a third straight group
01:30defeat to officially enter the Nations League A relegation fight. Terence Clark, TV6 Sport.
