Allyson Swaby scored the winner for Jamaica as they secured a historic win against Panama at the 2023 Fifa Women’s World Cup in Perth.

Swaby rose highest to head home from a Trudi Carter cross in the 56th minute.Jamaica were denied a penalty in stoppage time after video assistant referee (VAR) ruled Wendy Natis did not handball to block Drew Spence’s shot.

The Reggae Girlz were without captain Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw after she was sent off in the dying seconds of their goalless draw against France but made history in her absence by securing their first win at the World Cup.
