2018 FIFA World Cup Dream Still Alive For Jamaica’s Young Reggae Girlz

On Friday Jamaica’s Under-17 Reggae Girlz earned a much needed win to keep their dreams of qualifying for the 2018 FIFA Under-17 Women’s World Cup alive.

The girls defeated Trinidad and Tobago 3-1 in their final Group F match of the CFU Championship in Haiti.

And the victory means that Jamaica finishes the group stage in second place with three points. The girls lost their previous game 3-2 against Bermuda two days earlier.

Jamaica fought valiantly for the victory after conceding a goal in the seventh minute. Team captain Monique Perrier equalised for Jamaica in minute 31.

  

Olufolasade Adamolekun followed up by notching a brace with goals in the 74th and 85th minute to propel the young Reggae girls to a comfortable victory.

Jamaica next faces Puerto Rico with a chance to qualify for the CONCACAF round of World Cup qualifiers.
