Breana Smith came off the substitutes’ bench to spark a rout at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva yesterday evening as Trinidad and Tobago romped to a 10-0 win over Grenada in their opening Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Girls Under-14 Challenge Series affair.
Trinidad and Tobago led 3-0 at the half after a double by Carissa Cowan and a solitary strike by Texas-based forward Nikita Jackson. However Smith, who represents Laventille FC, entered the game at the interval and plundered five items while Faith Alexander and Talia Martin also chipped in a goal apiece to reach double figures.
