Puerto Rico and the Bahamas will trade tackles in a CONCACAF Nations League fixture on Tuesday (November 21st).
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 3-2 away victory over Antigua. They took a two-goal lead into the break but their lead was wiped off when the hosts scored two goals in as many minutes to draw the game level. Rivero scored his second of the night in the 58th minute to help his nation claim maximum points.
Bahamas, meanwhile, have not been in action since the last international break. Goals from Nathan Wells, Josh Parker, Thomas Bramble and Nahum Johnson saw the spoils shared in a 2-2 draw away to Antigua in October.
The draw saw The Baha Boyz claim their first point of the Nations League campaign and left them in fourth spot in Group D of League B. Puerto Rico are second on nine points.
