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

GUY 3 vs GUA 0

The cloudy morning of Day 5 started off with Guyana facing Guatemala to come away with maximum points and claim one of the top two spots. Guatemala’s Sandra Sis and Jessica Espino were strong and courageous in the defence, but Guyana was unstoppable.

The first goal came from Tamala Glenn who tipped in a pass from Gabriella Xavier. Marzana Fiedtkou made it 2-0 when she found goal from a penalty stroke and Aliyah Gordon closed off the scoring in the 55th minute.

This win puts Guyana on 11 points to march into the finals.

 

PUR 11 vs PAN 0

Puerto Rico came out hard at Panama to end their day with an 11-0 victory. The Panamanians did a great job keeping them out of goal for the first 20 minute with help of Celina Portugal in the defence.

In the 21st minute Josefina Freaney kick-started the scoring and went ahead to get a hat trick. Marisa Miro got her name on the scoresheet in the 30th minute, for the first time in the CAC Qualifiers and struck goal three times after.

The other goal scorers were Nicole Bachelet, Arielle Rodriguez, Genesis Pacheco and Lyneiska Leon.

 

JAM 1 vs BER 0

The final female game in the preliminary round saw Jamaica going up against the Bermudans who needed to score at least 7 goals in order to qualify for the CAC Games in Columbia next year. Bermuda was dominant throughout the first 5 minutes of the game, but the Jamaican slowly took control. Krystal Holgate scored the lone goal of the contest in the 11th minute of the game from a penalty corner.

The second half was evenly contested by both teams, who created a number of chances, but none were able to get inside the goal. The win puts Jamaica at the top of the table with Guyana who they will play against in finals tomorrow.
