The Lady Jaguars suffered their first loss in the CONCACAF Women’s U20 Championship, losing to defending champion Mexico 3-0 yesterday at the Felix Sanchez Stadium in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Second half goals in the space of 15 minutes relegated Guyana to their first loss in the six matches. Following a scoreless first half period, Joseline Montoya opened the scoring in the 78th minute. The conversion emanated from a flat left sided cross from Destinee Manzo which fell into the path of the onrushing Montoya, who slotted home from the centre of the box into the lower right corner.

The second conversion occurred in the 87th minute as Montoya recorded her second from the penalty mark following a trip inside the box. Montoya made no mistake from the distance, as she passed her right foot effort into the lower left corner.
