DENVER, Colorado – Minutes after the conclusion of Martinique’s 3-0 win over Cuba in Group B of the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup, one could hear singing and chanting outside the Martinique locker room.

For Les Matinino, it was a release of joy after having spent the previous three days stewing over its opening 4-0 loss to Canada.

“The win came as a relief. I am very happy, very proud of the boys, they played really well tonight,” said Martinique Head Coach Mario Bocaly in his post-match press conference.
