SOCA WARRIORS head coach Dwight Yorke admitted he and his players face a steep learning curve after Trinidad and Tobago salvaged a 1–1 draw with Haiti on Thursday night, keeping alive a slim hope of progressing from Group D in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

“It was far from ideal, but we are still in the competition,” Yorke said. “We’ve got a big game against Saudi Arabia next, all pending on the results (late Thursday night) in the USA vs Saudi Arabia match. We’ll be watching that very carefully. If it goes in our favour, we still have an outside chance of advancing to the next round.”
