Jamaica created history by beating Canada 3-2 in cold Toronto, Tuesday night, to advance to the semi-finals of the Conacaf Nations League and an automatic qualification for the COPA America next summer.
The Reggae Boyz, who had gone into the half-time break 0-1, turned in a splendid second-half performance with Shamar Nicholson scoring a brace (62nd and 66th minutes) and Bobby Reid (78th-penalty) securing victory to overturn Jamaica’s 1-2 loss to the Canadians at the National Stadium in St Andrew on Saturday morning. Alphonso Davies (25th) and Ismael Kone (69th) were Canada’s goalscorers.
