Greta Espinoza quickly doubled the advantage to 2-0 in the 10’ when Trinidad and Tobago GK Kimika Forbes spilled a long-range shot, allowing Espinoza to stroke home the rebound.

Mexico then made it 3-0 in the 19’ with a sparkling goal in transition that saw Alicia Cervantes polish off the counterattack with a right-footed laser into net.

A long-distance effort from Alexia Delgado that rolled off the fingertips of Forbes and into goal extended it to 4-0 in the 25’, followed by Charlyn Corral turning in a blocked shot in the 39’ for a 5-0 lead.

Corral was instrumental again in the 42’, sending in a cross that allowed that was tapped home by Cervantes to stretch it to 6-0.
