It was a cool night in Couva, by Caribbean standards, but Andrew Jean-Baptiste will forever carry a warm memory of January 6, 2017 in Trinidad: it was the night he scored his first goal at international level.

The 24-year-old defender was also making his first start for his national team, anchoring the back line on a rainy night at the Ato Boldon Stadium against an opponent - Suriname - buoyed by a surprise 2-1 win over the Soca Warriors just two days earlier.
