The second round of the U17 Women’s Soccer Championship unfolded in a flurry of excitement and anticipation at the Frans Figaroa Stadium in Noord this past Saturday. With three intense matches on the agenda, fans were treated to a showcase of skill, determination, and nail-biting action.

In the opening match of the afternoon, the Bubali team emerged victorious against La Fama with a commanding 3-1 scoreline. Kristeen Brete led the charge for Bubali with a brace of goals, supported by Tamika Almary’s clinical finish. La Fama fought valiantly, with Shanaia Rumnit securing their sole goal, but ultimately couldn’t withstand Bubali’s relentless attack.

Simultaneously, Estrella clashed with RCA in a fiercely contested encounter. Despite RCA’s dominance for much of the match, Estrella’s goalkeeper, Princess Tucker, showcased her prowess with remarkable saves. However, RCA’s Ellen de Jong’s double and an unfortunate own goal by Andrea Odor tilted the scales in their favor, securing a 3-1 victory over Estrella.

Meanwhile, Dakota and CDRA battled it out in a match characterized by its intensity and parity. Both teams displayed remarkable resilience, resulting in a 2-2 draw. Dakota’s Sharrienne Vrolijk and Kynah Kock found the net, countered by CDRA’s Natiushka Kwidama and Victoria Fernandez, ensuring an evenly contested affair until the final whistle.

As the dust settles on the second round, Bubali and RCA emerge as early frontrunners, both securing victories and setting the stage for an intriguing rivalry in the remainder of the championship. However, with Estrella and CDRA showcasing their mettle in hard-fought battles, the competition promises to intensify in the upcoming rounds.

With the championship now in full swing, anticipation mounts for the next installment of exhilarating matches. As teams regroup and strategize for the challenges ahead, fans eagerly await the unfolding drama of the U17 Women’s Soccer Championship at the Frans Figaroa Stadium next Saturday.
