Guyana climbed atop group-E in the CONCACAF Women’s Qualifiers, crushing traditional foe Suriname 6-1 yesterday at the National Track and Field Centre, Leonora.

It was a record setting victory for the Guyanese, who maintained their unbeaten record against the Dutch nation, eclipsing their best 2-0 margin of victory.

However, the fourth ever meeting of the nations can be described as a game of two halves. For the opening 38 minutes, Suriname was the better team, monopolizing possession and carving out several chances.
