The Cuban national soccer team participating in the CONCACAF U-17 Women’s Tournament 2025 debuted with a victory over Guyana.
When it seemed that they would go to the break with a goalless draw, Yaiselis López was left alone in front of the rival goalkeeper, after an excellent collective play, and capitalized the first goal.
The advantage did not last long, as Alexaudria Chasles took a ball from long distance and placed it far from the Cuban goalkeeper with a spectacular volley.
The reaction of Silvio Pedro Miñoso’s team was not long in coming and the dominance of the game found benefits, this time with the set piece.
Anelis Clavo scored the second goal at 64′, from a free kick, and although it seemed as if the Cubans could have scored more, it was enough to seal the victory.
In the other Group C match, Panama thrashed the Turks and Caicos Islands 9-0 and made their candidacy to lead the group official.
The Isthmians and Cubans could decide on the last day of the tournament the passage to the second round, a qualifier for the World Cup of the category.
If both teams win their next matches, everything will be ready for that to happen, and in that case, the winners would secure their advancement.
There is also a possibility of both teams going through, since after the winners of the six groups there are two places left for the best runners-up.
This Wednesday they will alternate opponents so that the Cuban team will face the Turks and Caicos Islands and Panama will then play against Guyana.
