Curaçao vs Aruba

Curaçao put on a commanding display at Stadion Ergilio Hato, brushing aside Caribbean neighbors Aruba 4-0 in a one-sided international friendly. All four goals came in the second half, with the hosts growing stronger as the match wore on. Joshua Brenet opened the scoring in the 53rd minute, and Jeremy Antonisse doubled the advantage in the 68th. Livano Comenencia made it three with seven minutes to go, before Juninho Bacuna added a fourth deep in stoppage time to cap a thoroughly dominant performance. No red cards or penalties complicated what was an entirely one-sided evening. For Curaçao — the smallest nation ever to qualify for a World Cup — the result provides a welcome confidence boost ahead of their historic tournament appearance. Aruba, despite arriving with four wins from their last five matches, had no answer for their neighbors' quality on the night.
