Named as our Club captain ahead of the 2026/27 campaign, the midfielder played in Khadija Shaw on 20 minutes to give her nation a two-goal advantage after Jody Brown had fired Jamaica into the lead just five minutes before.

Our number 24 completed the full 90 minutes as Mexico fought back in the first half, scoring twice, but a penalty from Deneisha Blackwood in between their two goals gave the Reggae Girlz the advantage at the break.

Solai Washington made it four in the last minute of normal time and although Veronica Corral cut the deficit in the fifth minute of stoppage time, Drew’s nation saw out any late potential comeback to win the seven-goal thriller in Aguascalientes.

Turning our attention to Denmark and Olivia Holdt featured in their international friendly in Canada on Saturday night, which ended 1-1 before the hosts won a penalty shootout 4-2 on the night.

Having already secured their spot in next summer’s FIFA Women’s World Cup Finals in Brazil, Oli started the game in Montreal as they begin preparations for the showpiece tournament and went on to complete 45 minutes, making way at the break in what was wholesale changes for her nation.

Japan have also booked their spot in next year’s Finals in Brazil after winning the Women’s Asian Cup in March, 2026, and faced Haiti in an international friendly on Friday evening.
