Trinidad & Tobago Qualify For First Time Ever FIFA World Cup Germany 2006
With the score tied at 1:1 from the first leg in Port of Spain, Bahrain had one hand on their ticket to World Cup Germany - while Trinidad and Tobago had to score to qualify.Bahrain sat back and allowed T&T to come at them - soaking up the pressure and mounting counter attacks on the break.T&T dominated possession but couldn't turn their ball possession into goals - and a scrappy first period ended with the scoreline reading 0:0.The second half began as the first half ended with T&T attacking the Bahrain goal and from a Dwight Yorke corner in the 49th minute Dennis Lawrence rose above the Bahrain defense to head home the Soca Warriors' long promised goal.With T&T ' virtually' qualified Bahrain were forced to switch to attack but T&T comfortably held on to deservedly qualify for a World Cup final stage for the first time in their history.Bahrain will regret not chasing the game in the first half.* A strange incident at the end of the game when a Bahrain player kicked the ball out of T&T goalkeeper Kelvin Jack's hand as he prepared to clear downfield and fired the ball into the net.Disallowed by the referee but hotly contested by the Bahrain team.
