An early strike by Shakira Duncan was not enough as the Reggae Girlz squandered an early lead to go down 3-1 to Costa Rica in a CONCACAF Group B U-20 Women’s qualifying game played at the Cuauthemoc Stadium. The Jamaicans started well with a goal in the 11th minute but the Costa Ricans struck back through Racquel Rodriquz in the 42nd to level the score. Not long after, Katherine Alvarado put Costa Rica in front with a shot from inside the box. The Costa Ricans sealed the deal in the 82nd with Rodriguez beating the offside trap to score. Costa Rica shares the lead of the group with Canada on three points, Nicaragua and Jamaica share the bottom with 0.
