US Virgin Islands make history with back‑to‑back wins

The US Virgin Islands have achieved a landmark moment in their football history, recording consecutive victories for the first time ever. The Caribbean side beat the Bahamas 3‑1 at Bethlehem Soccer Stadium in Saint Croix, securing a second straight win in Concacaf Nations League League C. The feat carries extra weight given the nation’s long struggle for consistency: since their official debut in 1998, they had collected fewer than ten wins across more than seventy matches, never managing a genuine positive streak.

The breakthrough arrived within three days. On 26 September, the Dashing Eagles won 2‑0 away to Saint‑Martin; on 29 September, they followed up with a convincing home performance. St Louis and Joseph struck in the first half, while Armour added a third on sixty‑two minutes. The Bahamas pulled one back from a corner, but the hosts held firm. With six points from two games, the US Virgin Islands now top the group and chase an unlikely run.
