Panama 8 Bonaire 0
Panama laid down a marker in their quest for the 2026 Concacaf Women’s Under-17 Championship, dismantling Bonaire 8-0 in the opening match of Group B at the Flora Duffy South Field Stadium.
The Panamanians were in clinical form from the first whistle, overwhelming their opponents with a display of superior technical ability and physical presence. Cristabella Ríos and Shaday Mow led the charge, with both players bagging braces to put the result beyond doubt early in the contest.
The scoresheet was well-shared as Panama’s attacking fluidity left Bonaire struggling to find answers. Gabriela Rodriguez and Alisson Samudio each found the net, while the introduction of second-half substitutes only increased the pressure on the Bonaire defense. Vera Batista and Alexa Ortega both capitalized on their opportunities off the bench to round out the scoring and seal a comprehensive three points for the Central American side.
The victory puts Panama at the top of the Group B standings ahead of the evening’s second fixture between hosts Bermuda and Suriname. For Bonaire, the focus now shifts to a rapid recovery before they return to the National Sports Centre on Monday to face the home side.
Panama will look to continue their dominant form when they take on Suriname in their second group fixture on January 26, knowing that a win would put them on the brink of securing the lone qualification spot for the championship round.
