Lady Jags defeat Aruba 2-0 in Concacaf Women’s U-17 Qualifiers

Goals from Anaya Joseph and Adrianna Chin spurred Guyana to a 2-0 victory over host nation Aruba in Group D action of the Concacaf Women’s Under-17 Qualifiers on Thursday night at Stadion Guillermo Prospero Trinidad in Oranjestad.

The opening goal landed in the 26^th minute as Alexaudria Chasles sent a great ball into the middle of the box and connected with Anaya Joseph for the strike.

It remained a 1-0 game for most of the contest until Chasles came up with another assist in the 88^th, spinning past defenders and linking up with  Chin to finish it off.

The victory secured Guyana, who drew 1-1 with Jamaica in their opening game, third spot on the table in the five-team group.

In the other Group D game on Thursday, Jamaica jumped to the top spot of the group with a 5-0 victory over St. Vincent and the Grenadines at the same venue.

The Reggae Girlz took the lead in the 38^th off an own goal. Five minutes later, Jamaica doubled its lead when Jaya Lecky calmly buried a penalty kick.

In the 54^th, Jamaica extended its lead as Malayna Johnson-Mighty turned on the jets and raced past everyone, finishing off her run with a toe poke.

Jamaica added another pair in a one-minute span as Kalila Daley found the back of the net in the 68^th and Shennell Walters followed it up in the 69^th.
