Guyana’s Senior National Women’s Football Team; the ‘Lady Jags’, had an improved performance against host Puerto Rico in their second of two friendly international matches last evening but they still couldn’t keep the Spanish-speaking women at bay, going down 1-2.
Nickolette Driesse continued her goal scoring form from the previous game on Wednesday night to open the scoring for Puerto Rico in the second minute of play but despite many raids in the Guyana’s half and final third, the Lady Jags kept their opponents at bay until a terrible back pass was pounced on by Audrey Narine who intercepted and rounded the keeper to slot home in the 27th minute, leveling the score.
The contest was deadlocked at halftime despite the dominance of Puerto Rico which continued into the second half but better defending by the Guyanese and inadequate finishing by the Puerto Ricans had the game deadlocked up until the 85th minute where poor positioning by Guyana’s Goalie Natalie Nedd, caused her to miss a regulation save giving Sophia Muetterties a goal and Puerto Rico the lead with just five minutes to go.
Guyana didn’t have many chances in the match but on the stroke of halftime, Annalisa Vincent had a decent one on one opportunity with the keeper to give the Lady Jags the lead but couldn’t connect with the ball after being played through.
The friendlies are part of the ‘Lady Jags’ one week encampment on the island as preparation for the Concacaf Women’s Qualifiers next year are intensified. The Concacaf Women’s Championship 2022 will also be qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup in Australia and New Zealand 2023, and for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Guyana’s starting XI – Brianna Desa 5, Samantha Banfield 7, Serena Mc Donald 8, Gabriella Salvadore 11, Audrey Narine 9, Natalie Nedd 20, Ghilene Joseph 2, Annalisa Vincent 12, Shamya Daniels 6, Tiandi Smith 15, Hasha Holder 4.
