A spirited Jamaica Reggae Girlz team earned a commanding 2-0 victory earlier this morning against Sheffield United at the King Power Stadium in Leicester, England.
The Reggae Girlz, who had the lion’s share of possession for the duration of the fixture, created numerous opportunities which eventually paid off in the 54th minute when defender, Chantelle Swaby, headed home from a corner kick to give the Reggae Girlz a 1-0 lead.
Following more sustained pressure, ball retention and a plethora of chances, the Reggae Girlz lead was doubled in the 83rd minute when captain Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw’s solo run down the left flank resulted in a cross that left Cheyna Matthews with the easy task of scoring into an empty net.
