PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - The losing is over for Trinidad

and Tobago coach Leo Beenhakker after his team scored a workmanlike

4-0 victory over Bermuda on Wednesday night.

Three goals in a 20-minute span of the second half sealed the

match for the home team, which is preparing for a World Cup

qualifier against Panama on June 4 at the same Hasely Crawford

Stadium.

Beenhakker earned his first win in charge of the Warriors, who

lost his previous two outings 2-1 to local club North-East Stars,

and 1-0 to Peruvian champions Alianza Lima.

The visitors, a late replacement for El Salvador, which was

unable to travel because of a Hurricane threat, got off to poor

start when Kentoine Jennings slid his clearing effort into his net

after 34 minutes.

Before that, the home side looked disinterested in scoring,

although it created several promising openings. The chief culprit

was Stern John, whose touch and control deserted him time and

again.

But one minute into the second half, Kenwayne Jones, the

Southampton striker, slid a shot past a stunned Nigel Burgess in

goal, beating the keeper with a well-placed shot at the near post

after running on to a pass from Carlos Edwards.

Five minutes later, the score was upped to 3-0 when defender

Dennis Lawrence knocked a loose ball over the line from close

range.

John finally got it right in the 65th minute when he lobbed a

shot in.

The teams will play again Friday night.
