BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, (CMC )– English-speaking Caribbean Football Union teams had a rough time when the Concacaf Road to W Gold Cup continued on Friday.

Hosts St Vincent & the Grenadines failed to defend the homestead when the Dominican Republic, led by a hat-trick from Jazmin Jackson and a brace from Kathrynn González, landed their second win of the campaign 8-0 at the Arnos Vale Sports Complex.
Trinidad & Tobago, also playing on home soil, failed to respond after a second half strike from Jillienne Aguilleira and Puerto Rico came away with a 2-1 win at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, while Adrienne Forde notched an equaliser for hosts Barbados and they drew 1-1 with Bermuda at the Wildey Turf.

IN KINGSTOWN, ST VINCENT: Jackson and González enabled the Dominican Republic to move into second place behind the Bermudians in Group C of League B after their big win with a higher goal differential.
After Vanessa Kara gave the DR the lead in the first minute, Jackson scored twice in the first half, González added her two, and Winibian Peralta added another in between to put the visitors ahead 6-0 at half-time.

Kara lobbed a perfect ball under the top post, Jackson scored her first in the ninth minute after her elusive footwork inside the box ended with a right-footed shot just inside the left post, and González put away a loose ball in the 17th minute.
Peralta converted a penalty in the 23rd minute after she was brought down in the box, González scored from long distance in the 33rd minute, and Jackson connected with a header in the 40th minute on a cross from Lucia Marte.

SVG tried to respond in between, but their finishing let them down, and the one-way traffic continued in the second half when Jackson headed another goal on a long cross from Brianne Reed in the 58th minute, and Dahien Cabrera finished off a nice build-up with a strike in the 87th minute.

IN PORT OF SPAIN, TRINIDAD: Aguilleira gave the Puerto Ricans their first win of the campaign and moved them into second place in Group A of League A with three points from two matches, while T&T remain without a point after two matches.

Aguilleira pounced on a loose ball, made a move past a defender, and blasted a left-footed shot into net five minutes after T&T had equalised after trailing 0-1 at half-time.

From there, the Puerto Rico defence did their job the rest of the way in keeping T&T from grabbing a second equaliser.
The first half-hour of the contest was fairly even before Skylynn Rodriguez fired in a right-footed shot to break the deadlock after Juelle Love made a run to the end line and cut the ball back to her.

T&T drew level four minutes into the second half when Alexcia Ali gathered a pass on the right wing and fired in from the narrowest of angles.
IN WILDEY, BARBADOS: The Bermudians remained narrowly first in Group C of League B after the Barbadians held them to a draw.

Forde grabbed the equaliser for the hosts from a corner kick in the 47th minute, and both teams defended hard the rest of the way for the match to end in a stalemate.
Aaliyah Nolan got the opening goal of the contest in the 24th minute with a drive through the middle of the field and a left-footed shot to the back of the net.
