2:3 Jabloteh MetroStars Baptiste Addlery Wolyniec 2 Lisi 03.15.05 · Preseason

Forward John Wolyniec scored two goals and midfielder Mark Lisi netted the game winner in the 86th minute as the MetroStars defeated San Juan Jabloteh, 3-2, in an international club friendly played in front of 1,750 at Port of Spain's Hasely Crawford Stadium. This match marked the first of two games for the MetroStars Preseason Training in Trinidad.

Jabloteh jumped on the board first in the 26th minute after Kerry Baptiste drilled home an Ansil Elcock cross past Metros goalkeeper Zach Wells on the far post. However, Wolyniec answered with the equalizer just three minutes later when he hammered a Gilberto rebound past Jabloteh 'keeper Duarance Williams. The play was set up by Amado Guevara who struck a beautiful through ball that Gilberto chased down and fired on net. Williams deflected Gilberto's attempt, but Wolyniec was there for the putback.

The score remained at 1-1 until the 47th minute when Jabloteh forward Nicholas Addlery got behind the Metros defense and snuck one past Wells to make it 2-1 in favor of the home team.

Wolyniec again knotted the score, this time on a chip shot that soared just over the head of the outstretched Williams in the 61st minute. Forward Sergio Galvan Rey was credited with the assist after making a nice feed to the streaking Wolyniec from the left side.

The match turned extremely physical in the second half and a number of cautions were handed out to both squads. A brutal foul committed by Trent Noel in the 78th minute on Metros defender Ademir Dos Santos earned Noel a red card, and the subsequent dissent over the call by teammate Charles Pollard warranted a yellow, which was Pollard's second of the game.

The Metros capitalized on their two-man advantage minutes later after Lisi teed off from 23 yards away and hooked the ball past the diving Williams. The game winner was Lisi's first of the preseason.

Jabloteh lost another player in the 88th minute after Celestine was booked for his second yellow card of the contest, giving the Metros an 11-8 man advantage for the final minutes of the contest.
