Trinidad and Tobago are through to the FIFA World Cup™ finals for the first time in their history after a Dennis Lawrence header earned Leo Beenhakker's men a famous 1-0 victory in Bahrain. "We have to keep believing in our chances. There's no reason why we shouldn't put ourselves in a position to reach our goal," Trinidad and Tobago skipper Dwight Yorke prophetically declared ahead of the decisive clash at the Manama stadium in Bahrain.

A headed goal by Wrexham defender Dennis Lawrence from Dwight Yorke's corner in the 49th minute earned Trinidad & Tobago a 1-0 win in Bahrain and a place at the World Cup finals for the first time.

It gave T&T, whose population of 1.1 million will make them the smallest country at Germany 2006, a 2-1 aggregate victory. Yesterday's second leg ended with referee Oscar Ruiz sending off Hussain Ali, of Bahrain. The Colombian official had been manhandled after correctly disallowing a stoppage-time goal by the home side. Fans threw seat covers and the evening ended in uproar with soldiers guarding the field as the players left for the dressing rooms.
