Jamaica pay the penalty Reggae Boyz head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson extends winless run to seven games after Leon Bailey fluffs his lines
Reggae Boyz head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson extends winless run to seven games after Leon Bailey fluffs his lines
Seven-time Gold Cup champions US have rocked up at the prestigious event with only five players involved in capturing the Nations League last week. In contrast Jamaica arrived on the back of a dismal six-match winless streak since Hallgrimsson joined and were eager to stop the rot. The US kicked off their Gold Cup defence inside a fully charged and expectant Soldier Field in Chicago, with the first piece of action Lowe’s second-minute yellow card for a clumsy challenge on James Sands.
The US, who had defeated Jamaica in the knockout rounds at the past two Gold Cup finals, were kept on the backfoot. They were afforded possession by Hallgrimsson’s tactics but struggled to penetrate the midfield. This let off re-energised the US players and fans alike only for Ferreira, Sonara and DeAndre Yedlin to waste their opportunities.
Jamaica were second best, struggling to build up apart from one chance on the half-hour mark. Michail Antonio was driving forward into the ball but Jalen Neal halted his surge, and the Boyz appealed for a penalty even though it hit the youngster’s midsection. Callaghan threw on fresh legs as a last ditch resort as the US has a remarkable record of scoring late goals, either grabbing a winner or an equaliser from the 83rd minute.
