Qualifiers for the Central American and Caribbean Games - Panama vs Jamaica

GUY 0 vs PUR 0

The first female match of Day 2 left Guyana and Puerto Rico without a goal despite many opportunities.

The first penalty corner of the game was won by Puerto Rico, but a slow pull and hesitation at the top of the D gave the Guyanese defenders enough room to clear the ball. Goalkeeper Briawna Gordon denied Marisa Miro a chance at scoring in the second period of the game.

Puerto Rico endured a great deal of pressure from Kerensa Fernandes but Kayla Chapman and Captain Josephina Freaney intercepted their efforts to put Guyana in the lead.
