Tuesday, October 16, 2012 | 8:12 PM



KINGSTON, Jamaica — A perfectly weighted pass by Jermaine Hue to Dane Richards who finished with precision handed Jamaica a fourth goal in the 88th minute making life easier for the Reggae Boyz at 4:1.

Jamaica led 2:0 at half time.

But Antigua pegged one back against the Boyz in the 61st minute making the score 2:1 in the world cup qualifier at the National Stadium.

Jamaica hit back brilliantly in the 78th minute with a another Richards strike to lead 3:1.

The Reggae Boyz controlled the tempo of the game in the second half but gave up a free kick just outside the 18-yard, which was capitalized on by the Antiguans for their only goal of the match.

Meanwhile, the US maintained their 3:1 advantage at home over Guatemala allowing the Boyz to advance to the next round.
