Junior Lady Jags end Concacaf U-17 qualifiers with dominant 7-1 victory

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 16^th minute off an assist from Ellie Biffin.

Chasles quickly turned provider, assisting Devi Sookdeo’s goal in the 20^th minute before adding her second just a minute later.

Anaya Joseph further extended the lead with goals in the 24^th and 41^st 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 54^th minute.

Benjamin capped off the scoring for Guyana in the 57^th 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 71^st 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.
