T&T draw their first match

Port Vale’s Chris Birchall was an unused substitute as Trinidad and Tobago drew their opening match of the Concacaf Gold Cup tournament.

The Soca Warriors were held to a 2-2 draw by El Salvador at the Red Bull Arena. Trinidad’s goals came from Keon Daniel and Stoke City’s Kenwyn Jones.

Birchall, who is missing Vale’s pre-season tour of Ireland thanks to his International call-up will hope to have a greater involvement in the side’s next game – a tie against Haiti on the 12th July.
