Jamaica’s Reggae Girlz beat Panama 1-0 in the first of their two friendly internationals played at Estadio Rommel Fernandez in Panama City on Friday.

Shania Hayles maintained her good scoring run for Jamaica when she scored a free kick in the 25th minute, her fourth goal in national colours, three in this calendar year.

Jamaica dominated the game in the first half and came close to scoring on a few occasions, the first chance coming in the eighth minute when Kayla McKenna swiveled on the top of the six-yard box but fired just wide of the left post.
