The Guyana Women’s National Team closed out their Concacaf Women’s U-17 Qualifiers campaign in emphatic fashion, securing a 7-1 victory over Turks and Caicos.
The commanding win was a strong response after their earlier narrow 2-3 loss to Panama and a 1-2 defeat against Cuba.
Guyana set the tone early, with Alexandria Chasles opening the scoring in the 16th minute off an assist from Ellie Biffin.
Chasles quickly turned provider, assisting Devi Sookdeo’s goal in the 20th minute before adding her second just a minute later.
Anaya Joseph further extended the lead with goals in the 24th and 41st minutes, assisted by Ayah Stewart and Naomi Benjamin, respectively.
The team maintained their attacking intensity in the second half, with Sookdeo securing her brace in the 54th minute.
Benjamin capped off the scoring for Guyana in the 57th minute with a stunning long-range strike that stood out as one of the most memorable goals of the tournament.
Turks and Caicos managed a late consolation through Amika Jackson in the 71st minute, but Guyana’s dominant performance remained the story of the match.
“The team’s performances have set a strong foundation for future competitions. As they continue their development on the regional stage, they showcased resilience, attacking prowess and a promising future for women’s football,” the Guyana Football Federation said in reaction to the performance.
