Trinidad & Tobago girls made their first presentation in the Siglo XXI, Stadium.
They played Guatemala and were able to show their offensive strength in their first appearance in the competition.
The action occurred on Guatemala’s side. The Caribbean girls looked for opportunities and got their reward defeating Kristel Caves goal,13 times.
"We knew it would be difficult to adapt to height, but we feel good. Now we look forward to play Mexico, our next opponent, "said Yesenia Luces, from Trinidad & Tobago.
"We are still playing without 5 or 7 players; the ones with more experience." They will arrive for the next game. It is a little frustrating. I thank today’s players for the big effort in coping with the incomplete team", said Kristel Caves.
Trinidad & Tobago will play again tomorrow. This time against México. Women’s second round will start next Friday and Guatemala will play Mexico, once more.
USA and Mexico played an exciting game at the end of day 2. These teams knew each other very well, as they played friendly matches before the tournament.
USA came into the pitch looking for Mexico’s net but the hosts stood strong in their defense. The teams went into the half time without scoring.
In the second half the North American continued pressing and opened the scoreboard thru Sean Cicchi defeating the Mexican Goalkeeper, Jose Hernandez. Some minutes later, Paul Sing added one for USA.
The final score was 2-0 for USA.
Tomorrow, Barbados will play Guatemala in the men’s competition.
