At the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™, on July 29, 2023, at the Perth Rectangular Stadium, at Perth/Boorloo, an exciting game took place between Panama and Jamaica.
After a tense 1-0 victory that saw off Panama and gave Jamaica its first ever victory at the FIFA Women’s World Cup, it was historic.
The skipper of the Jamaican side Allyson Swaby headed home the winner in the final part in the 55th minute to eliminate Panama from tournament.
The Reggae Girlz secured their first-ever FIFA Women’s World Cup™ win and aroused their dreams in the tourney.
The win, which leaves Jamaica in runner up in Group F, affirms Panama’s elimination from their very first competition.
The game’s first real opening fell to Drew Spence, as the Tottenham Hotspur midfielder embarked on a mazy run into the box and let fly, but her effort could only find the side netting.
Vyan Sampson was the close to take a shot at a long-range styler which Yenith Bailey was equivalent to with a fine jumping save.
Mental Strength And Uplifting Perspective Is Nigeria’s ‘Weapon’
Panama’s only opportunity of the opening period came when Martha Cox pounced on a defensive mishap in the Jamaica box, but her driven shot lacked any real conviction, before Spence – a rare bright spark of inspiration throughout the first half – was left cursing her luck again, as Bailey tipped her whipped free-kick on to the bar on the stroke of half-time.
After picking up where they left off in the second half, Lorne Donaldson’s team was rewarded 10 minutes later when captain Swaby converted a corner kick from Trudi Carter to give the Caribbean nation a priceless lead.
After that, both teams tried to score the game’s second goal, but Jamaica won to set up a crucial matchup with Brazil on Wednesday.
Jamaica have now won their very first FIFA Women’s World Cup, after three losses and one draw from their past four trips.
Jamaica’s captain Allyson Swaby was awarded the VISA Player of the Match.
Jamaica’s fantasy about escaping this group is now alive. It appears that the team is reaching the same level as the rest of the world.
