VI trailed 0-2 at halftime

The Cuban contingent opened the scoring just two minutes into the match as Dedina Sheila knocked in a cross.

Emely Diaz doubled the lead in the 29’ off a towering strike right over the keeper.  

Up by two at the break, Cuba’s offense really got going in the second half as Dayana Ayala netted a header in the 50’. 

Yaiselis López then took over by notching a hat trick with goals in the 59’, 80’ and 84’. She now has seven goals in two matches so far this tournament.

An own goal in the 90’ was followed by a strike from Yoesmayda Isaac in the 90+1’.
