In a single match of the day, Barbados played a good teamwork game, reaching their attacking circle several times from both sides of the pitch, and taking advantage of the mistakes of their rivals.

 “It’s very rewarding to finish a match like this; we could play as it was planned. We know we’re in the right path. The day after tomorrow we’ll play with Brazil, and we know it’s a very tough rival, but we’re confident we will battle the match,” said Brathwaite.

Brazil and Peru share the second position in the competition with 4 points each, as a result of one victory and 1 tie. None of the teams played today.
