Montego Bay United recover from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Molynes

Montego Bay United came back from two goals behind to draw 2-2 with Molynes United on Sunday at Jarrett Park, in the Legend Jamaica Premier League, according to initial information. The home side has now gone four games without a win.

Four goals before half-time

Tyrique Wilson put Molynes ahead in the fifth minute, and Rashawn Livingston made it 2-0 in the 10th. Jourdain Fletcher pulled one back in the 28th minute. Devontae Campbell levelled for the hosts in the 40th.

The Montego Bay coach on the defence

Javier Ainstein, the Montego Bay United coach, said he regretted missing another chance to take three points. "We lost another two points today, no doubt about that," he said. He added: "But we started really badly at the back today, and we gave an advantage to the opponent. But the good thing is that the team came back early before the end of the first half, and in the second half, I believe that the team created some chances."

Ainstein said the team is paying for the lack of senior defenders. He said the side kept a clean sheet in each of its opening matches and is now letting in two goals per game.

The Molynes coach on first-half mistakes

Anthony Patrick, newly arrived for another spell at Molynes United, said he had only three sessions with the team before the match. He said first-half mistakes cost his side the full three points.

"We worked it out in training, we understand the system that they are going to play, and we switched to our next system, and we got two early goals," he said. He added that the players then strayed from what they had practised and began passing the ball backward, against his instructions.

Patrick said the plan was to match up with Montego Bay's back three, since Molynes had three forwards. "But I definitely know that it’s a work in progress, and we’ll continue," Patrick said.
