Trinidad and Tobago's national Under-20 men's team began their Colombia training camp on a winning note with a convincing 6-1 victory over the Cali Valle Under-20 Selecion in Cali on Tuesday night.
The game was played over two halves of 60 minutes each, allowing T&T head coach Zoran Vranes to use each of his 22 players for at least an hour on the pitch.
Marcus Joseph sent the visitors ahead in the 32nd minute with a well-taken free kick and he doubled the lead in the 42nd minute from the penalty spot after Kenaz Williams was brought down.
The hosts pulled a goal back in the 62nd minute but T&T continued to enjoy the better of the exchanges and went further ahead in the 90th minute through Ross Russell Jr.
Jerrel Britto notched a double in the 101st and 114th from the penalty spot, while Kevin Raymond also netted in the 112th.
Vranes was pleased with his team's finishing on the evening.
"We took all our chances well and I'm satisfied with that," he told Trinidad and Tobago Football Federation media officer Shaun Fuentes.
"We created some good opportunities and that's important for us. They were not that easy a team to face but we took control of the game and it's good for a visiting team like us to come here and completely dominate.
It's good for our confidence too. Of course we cannot get carried away because we have to focus on the bigger games in Guatemala.
"Right now we are focusing on getting match ready and the games here will play a crucial part in our preparations."
T&T face Cuba in their opening CONCACAF final round qualifier on March 30 and Mexico two days later as they attempt to qualify for the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup to be hosted in Colombia.
