FOOTBALL-NATIONS-LEAD Glasgow among goals as Guyana stage comeback against Puerto Rico.

United States-based teenager Omari Glasgow led a superb Guyana comeback as they rallied from a goal down to brush aside Puerto Rico 3-1 in the CONCACAF Nations League on Saturday.

Trailing 1-0 at the St Kitts and Nevis Football Association Technical Centre in Basseterre following Leandro Antonetti's 11th minute opener, Guyana hit back with three goals in a vibrant second half with Glasgow scoring a 60th minute penalty, Kelsey Benjamin added a second goal in the 63rd and England-based Deon Moore notching the third in the 85th.

The win was Guyana's third on the bounce, keeping them top of Group D in League B with nine points.

Guyana were caught out by a slick move down the left, Darren Rios sending a searching cross through the box for Antonetti to sweep home, after arriving quickly at the far post.

Down 1-0 at the break, Guyana were back on level terms on the hour mark when Gerald Diaz fouled Benjamin in the box, and Glasgow put the resulting spot kick well beyond goalkeeper Joel Serrano's reach.

Moments later, Liam Gordon produced a determined run into the box, blowing by defender Nicolas Cardona to tee up Benjamin who tapped in at the near post to put Guyana ahead.

Moore, 24, put the finishing touches on the comeback, pouncing on a howler from Serrano to slot into an empty net.
