Guyana’s Lady Jags got the better of Suriname in Group A to solidify their position atop the Group in League B as the 2024 Gold Cup continued on Sunday at the Dr. Ir. Franklin Essed Stadium in Paramaribo, Suriname.

The Guyanese prevailed 1-0 compliments of Otesha Charles in the 24th and it meant Guyana was leading with nine points after consecutive victories over previous leaders Suriname.
Charles scored by putting the finish on a free kick service from Sydney Cummings.
Stekkinger Shamaira had a go from a distance in the 9’ as Suriname looked to avenge their defeat from a few days back.
Katoucha Patra nearly equalized in the 31st, but Guyana’s goalkeeper Chante Sandiford made a crucial stop.
Suriname goalkeeper Mayra Tjin A Koeng kept Guyana from adding more in the 52’ with a stop on a free kick.
Guyana’s Anya Tribune tried from a distance in the 69’, but her attempt went just outside of the left post, while Pique Naomi of Suriname had a final attempt in stoppage time, but Guyana would see out the victory.

With their third win in four games, the Lady Jags have solidified their position, three points clear of Suriname, who have six.
Antigua and Barbuda (4) and Dominica (4) complete the group.

Guyana’s last two matches in the group are against Dominica and Antigua/Barbuda on dates to be announced.
