Shaw’s double, assist, lifts Jamaica past Nicaragua in W Qualifiers | OneFootball

MANAGUA, Nicaragua – The 2025/26 Concacaf W Qualifiers continued with Jamaica earning a 3-2 victory over Nicaragua in Group B at Estadio Nacional in Managua, Nicaragua. 

The hosts got on the board first when captain Sheyla Flores converted from the penalty spot in the 27’.

Jamaica responded ten minutes later as Khadija Shaw rose up for a towering header off a great cross from Tiffany Cameron. Shaw notched a brace in the 58’ when she knocked in a loose ball off a free kick.

The Reggae Girlz extended their lead in the 68’ when Shaw sent a cross into the middle of the box and Shania Hayles tapped it in.

Nicaragua fought until the end and Mayqueling Márquez smashed a thunderous header off a corner kick in the 82’, but it wasn’t enough to pull off the comeback.

The two nations will finish their participation in the W Qualifiers during the April Qualifying window. Jamaica faces Antigua and Barbuda in its next encounter, before concluding against Guyana. Nicaragua will meet Dominica in its final match of its campaign.
