Bermuda Starting lineup: Micah Pond, Taznae Fubler, Delia Ebbin, Brianna Swainson, Zakiyah Durham, Leilanni Nesbeth, Leah Smith, Nia Christopher, Symira Lowe Darrell, Jade Stewart, Victoria Davis.
An entertaining first half has seen Bermuda and Cuba go to the break still deadlocked at 0 – 0. Jadae Steede Hill replaced Victoria Davis in the 20th in a tactical substitution, while Danni Watson replaced an injured Zekiyah Durham in the 32nd.
Bermuda had a few attacks, with the best chance for either team fell to Stewart you was sent clear toward goal from a defense splitting pass from Christopher, the Cuban goalkeeper saved bravely at her feet as she was attempting to round her.
The second half saw Bermuda concede a goal, a defensive error allowed the Cuba striker to muscle her way pass defenders and score past a stranded keeper.
Bermuda continued to press on, with Nesbeth having a shot cleared off line.
Stewart had a shot just over in dying minutes, the Bermuda Girls worked really, really hard, they weren't outplayed, nor were they the lesser team, more of Bermuda just unlucky.
