Reggae Girlz defeat Mexico 4-3 in friendly

Jamaica’s Reggae Girlz outscored Mexico 4-3 in the first of two friendly internationals in Aguascalientes on Friday as they stepped up preparations for their Concacaf Women’s Championship quarter-final against Costa Rica.

Jamaica led 2-0 after 20 minutes but the hosts kept clawing their way back with timely goals that kept the contest close.

It was the first time the Reggae Girlz scored four goals in a game against a North American opposition and the first time since 2022 that Jamaica beat Mexico in senior women’s football.
