Day one of the 2024 Concacaf Women’s Under-17 Championship is in the books!
🇭🇹 🆚 🇨🇷
🇲🇽 🆚 🇸🇻
Haiti 2-1 Costa Rica
The tournament opened with Haiti edging Costa Rica 2-1 on FMF Campo 1 thanks to a brace from Lourdjina Etienne.
Haiti broke the deadlock in the waning moments of the first half on an excellent team goal in transition, as Pierreline Nazon found Desert Dominique, who then slotted a pass over to Etienne and it was a picture-perfect finish for a 1-0 lead.
Etienne would then get her second of the day on the hour mark with an effort from outside the area to double the lead to 2-0.
Costa Rica desperately sought a response and almost got one in the 75’ when Alondra Gonzalez’s shot was deflected wide.
The goal would come, though, for Costa Rica, and it was in spectacular fashion in the 89’ when Daniela Ocampo fired in a right-footed shot from distance to make it 2-1.
However, Haiti hung on in the end to pocket the victory and the three points.
Mexico 3-0 El Salvador
The second match of the day on FMF Campo 1 saw Mexico down El Salvador 3-0.
The star of the day for El Tricolor was Abril Fragoso, who scored a goal in each half to pave the way to a full three points.
Mexico hit the ground running and opened the scoring in the seventh minute of play on a sensational left-footed strike from Fragoso for a 1-0 lead.
El Salvador hung in and tried to get back on level terms, but instead Mexico would double their margin in the 57’ on a finish from Dana Sandoval from just outside the area for a 2-0 advantage.
Fragoso then completed her brace in the 61’ via a penalty conversion, extending the Mexico lead to 3-0, which held until the final whistle.
