Jamaica fell to Canada 4-0 in their Concacaf Women's Under-20 Championship final round group opener today at the Estadio Felix Sanchez in the Dominican Republic.

A first-half brace from Anabelle Chukwu in the 39th and 45+1 minutes gave the Canadians a 2-0 lead at half time. Olivia Smith and Renee Watson wrapped up the points in the 56th and 90+4 minutes for the Canadians.

Jamaica will face the United States in their second group game on Sunday before finishing off group play against Panama on Tuesday.

The Concacaf Women's Under-20 Championship Championship also doubles as a World Cup qualifier.
