Lady Jags look to topple Haiti juggernaut

Its do-or-die time for Guyana’s Lady Jags U20 football team as they take on powerhouse Haiti for a spot in the semi-finals.

In what is expected to be a difficult assignment, the Lady Jaguars will match skills with powerhouse Haiti today from 16:00hrs in the quarter-final section of the CONCACAF Women’s U20 Football competition at the Estadio Panamericano, San Cristobal, Dominican Republic.

The difficulty of the task ahead for the Guyanese, the runners-up in group-D, is highlighted and exemplified by the sheer statistical strength of their foes, Haiti, the runaway victor in group-F, who just happens to possess the best numbers in the entire biennial championships.

Offensively, the unbeaten Haitians have recorded a mammoth 34 goals from four matches at an average of 8.5 goals per fixture. The next best on the scoring chart during the same period is five-time champions, the United States of America with 30 conversions.
