IN their very first meeting in international women’s football, Guyana and Bermuda played to a 2 – 2 draw when they collide in Group ‘E’ of the CONCACAF Caribbean Qualifying tournament at the Leonora Track and Field Centre.

Following the opening game of the double- header which saw Barbados clawing to a deserving 2 – 1 win over Suriname, Guyana and Bermuda took the field and didn’t disappoint the vocal crowd at the ‘West Side’ venue.

Guyana’s Nathalie Nedd starting in goal, had two goalkeeping-blunders when she couldn’t had held on to two steamers from Bermuda’s Teyah Lindo.

Lindo’s first goal came five minutes into the game when she caught Nedd a little off her line and fired one home from approximately 25 yards out from goal.

However, two minutes later, Brianne Dessa equalized for Guyana following a nice build up with Mariam El-Masri and Calaigh Copeland.

The scores would remain levelled (1 – 1) until the 16th minute, when Lindo scored her second on the night; a long range shot taken from a free-kick.

The Bermudans would hold onto the 2 – 1 advantage until the 58th minute when Cameo Hazlewood scored a free-kick which was hit too hard for Bermuda’s Micah Pond to handle in goal.

Hazlewood had a suburb game attacking for Guyana and could’ve scored the winner if her first touch on a one-on-one with Pond was a little softer.

Guyana will next play Suriname on Friday in a game which Coach Dr Ivan Joseph said is a must-win and one where the Lady Jags will have to show their goalscoring prowess given the fact Barbados had already secured their three points.
