VIENNA, Austria (CMC) — An inexperienced Jamaica side tumbled to a 3-0 defeat against Morocco in a four-team tournament here on Tuesday after UK-based forward Jevani Brown, who had been expected to make his debut for the Reggae Boyz, withdrew from the squad.

It was not immediately known what led to the withdrawal of 27-year-old Brown, who ended up on the losing side later in the day as Exeter City lost at Gillingham on penalties in the second round of the English League Cup.

League One Exeter confirmed before kick-off that Brown, a former Young Reggae Boyz attacking midfielder, had withdrawn from the Jamaica squad, but gave no further details.

Brown’s evening ended in disappointment as League One Exeter lost 6-5 on penalties after a goalless draw at League Two strugglers Gillingham, Brown having successfully converted the first spot-kick.

Jamaica’s first game in Vienna was cancelled after Ghana arrived too late. They still have to face Qatar. Jamaica’s opponents are gearing up for this year’s World Cup in that country.

Ahmad Hamoudan gave the Moroccans an interval lead with a 33rd-minute goal. Mohammed Nahiri doubled the advantage from the spot on 74 minutes before Reda Slim added a third in the 80th minute.
