Havana, December 6 (JIT)-- Cuba won its fourth victory in the CONCACAF Women's Nations League 2023 with a 4-1 score and a brace by Eunises Núñez at the Antonio Maceo Stadium.

With this result, they reached four wins in as many games and finished in first place in Group B of Level C, leaving their rivals in second place.

This qualifies the Island for a higher stage in the next course, which they should have played this year and did not do so due to an error by the organizers, who left them out of the draw.

Only a complaint from the Cuban Football Association managed to get them into the competition, but with the draw made, there was no other alternative but to start in a category that is far superior in terms of quality.

In Tuesday's match, they started early to get the first goal from Núñez, which came in the eighth minute.

Just six minutes later they doubled their lead after Jessica Álvarez's timely assist, which she took with her left foot for her second goal.

Before the end of the first half, the Leonas had a 3-0 lead, which they gained in the 36th minute when Elisabet Espinosa placed a shot from the right side of the Santa Lucia box.

The opponents pulled one back in the 63rd minute with a shot from Racquel John, planted on the edge of the box to make the score 3-1.

However, the locals showed mental and physical strength and increased the advantage again with a 4-1 lead in the 73rd minute through Nahomi Aguilar's goal from the penalty spot, after a handball in the area.

Cuba's defense showed solidity once again and then took over to keep the scoreboard, ensuring a perfect passage through the competition. They celebrated with soccer what they lost earlier in the knockout rounds.
