The Mexican Women's National side keep looking as one of the main favourites to seal the ticket to the World beach Games, as they confirmed again today with a new solid win. The Azteca edged Bahamas with braces from Leyva, Carrillo and Pérez are are just one win away to seal the qualification for Qatar.
Despite Bahamas made things difficult during the first leg, with Shagerra Edgecombe's responding Fatima Leyva's missiles on two occasions in those first minutes, the Azteca took the reins of the game in the second period, with a 3-0 run that left things fairly unbalanced already.
Karla Pérez, would add two more to the Mexican advantage to seal three more points that have Mexico on top of the table, with six points. One more win tomorrow, against hosts El Salvador, will see La Tri accompanying their male counterparts to the World Beach Games this coming October. The Bahamas, in turn, have no options to qualify.
Goals: 1-0: Leyva, min. 9(1); 1-1: Edgecombe, min. 9(1); 1-2: Edgecombe, min. 4(1); 2-2: Leyva, min. 3(1); 3-2: Carrillo, min. 11(2); 4-2: Esli Sánchez, min. 4(2); 5-2: Carrillo, min. 2(2); 6-2: Pérez, min. 6 (3); 7-2: Pérez, min. 0(3);
