Yet another defeat!

For the second straight game in the Concacaf Nations League Trinidad and Tobago's footballers have lost a match they initially led.

This time it came against the Dominican Republic at the Hasely Crawford stadium.

Daniel Phillips banged home the opener for T&T but their opponents stormed back to win 2-1 and remain tied with Haiti and Curacao atop Group A.
Transcript
00:00Beset with a rash of injuries and absences, King had to adjust his 11, hoping for a positive
00:05result against the Dominican Republic, and the Warriors quickly started on the front
00:10foot.
00:11Cardiz to the edge of the area, the shot, oh, it took a deflection, diving save, Xavier
00:15Valdez.
00:17But just as quickly showed how vulnerable they could be in defense.
00:20Valdez, the Nashville goalkeeper, and MLS made the stop, and up the other end, the DR,
00:25oh, they walked their way through, and the shot is sent over the top by Mariano Diaz.
00:31Rio Cardiz was TNT's most promising offensive outlet as chances came off his boot.
00:37Cardiz again shoots, and Valdez collapses.
00:41Until Daniel Phillips stamped his name on the score sheet.
00:45Valdez, we just clawed it away.
00:47Phillips, oh, it's sensational.
00:53What a hit from Daniel Phillips.
00:59That's a scorcher from the SoCo Warriors, who take the lead in the 37th minute.
01:06But the joy only lasted five minutes as the DR produced their own blinder.
01:10Thought about shooting, Phillips got in the way, hides, more shell, smashes in the equalizer.
01:20And says, what do you think about that?
01:23Both teams showed the ability to score and give up goals as they remained even at the
01:27half.
01:28TNT restarted the match on the attack once more.
01:31It was chested down initially, but the space they left at the back was exploited as the DR
01:36took the lead.
01:37More shell.
01:39The DR are going to play their way through here.
01:41It is Diaz.
01:42Oh, it's brilliant.
01:46Mariano Diaz completes the Dominican Republic turnaround.
01:52The open play resulted in end-to-end action.
01:56Jordy Romero saved by Bryce.
01:59Romero again slipped, trying to get back to it.
02:03The DR thought that was a penalty, and now they could be stretched here.
02:06Up the other end.
02:08Dante Gilbert.
02:09Can he go all the way?
02:11Oh, it's off the bar.
02:14Derry King made adjustments moving Cardin's further forward.
02:17Muscling his way through.
02:20And then the chance here for Gilbert is positive.
02:22Chances were created as TNT were dominant.
02:26Still Gilbert couldn't get the shot away initially.
02:28Then he lays it off.
02:29Oh, and it's over the top.
02:30But the DR keeper was at his best.
02:33Frederick.
02:34And at the edge of the area, Valdez makes the save off the attempt from Levi Garcia.
02:39But the pressure took its toll as Wayne Frederick and Edison Escona saw red.
02:43Oh, and Frederick.
02:45Oh, and Escona go back and forth, and all of a sudden a scrum is broken out here.
02:51Assistant referee is giving his two cents as well.
02:54And it's the back pocket here.
02:56Red card is out.
03:00Escona is sent off for the stamp.
03:03And then Frederick is sent off for a second yellow, as we had presumed.
03:07In the end, TNT also saw red as they fell 2-1, dropping their first two matches of group
03:13A in the nation's league.
