Trinidad and Tobago’s Senior Women’s Team pulled off a 6-0 victory over the Marco Soccer Academy eleven in their closing warm-up game in Mexico City on Tuesday prior to their departure for Ecuador.
The T&T team arrived in Guayaquil on Wednesday and will journey to Quito on Friday ahead of the World Cup playoff away leg on Saturday.
T&T head coach Randy Waldrum said he was satisfied with the run of events during the training camp in Mexico City at the CECAP High Performance centre, which is one of three operation centres used by the Mexican Football Federation.
“It was a very useful exercise for us over the past few days,” Waldrum told TTFA Media. “The players were comfortable and we had access to excellent facilities.
“It was what we wanted here at altitude, a good run before going back down to sea level in Guayaquil ahead of the game back at altitude in Quito.”
Commenting on the match on Tuesday, he added.
“We got four goals just by applying the press we spoke of at half time and there could have been more goals for us. This is a good sign for us going into Ecuador.”
Mollon was also pleased with the team’s showing, saying “The subs gave us the spark we needed and it was good to see Tasha looking like the Tasha we are accustomed to and it was also a good chance to see the new additions to the squad."
The new additions to the squad include Candice Edwards, Jasmine Sampson and Iyesha Olliverre.
