The Jamaicans remained focused and they got their lead back when Trudi Carter scored in the 40th minute. Khadija Shaw provided a cross that was squeezed in by Tiffany Cameron in the 60th minute.
Shaw, who plays for Manchester City, then got in on the scoring in the 79th minute to make it 4-1 before doubling her tally through a header in the 93rd minute to make it 5-1.
Shaw has emerged as the leader of this Jamaican team, with her deadly goals helping the Girlz win many matches.
The Reggae Girlz head coach Vin Blaine said that his team won because they had prepared thoroughly for this match.
He said that the Girlz’s high-level fitness played a huge role in the 90-minutes domination.
The Reggae Girlz are in pursuit of back-to-back World cup appearances. The 2023 women’s world cup will be held in New Zealand and Australia.
