Jamaica lead Group B in final round World Cup qualifiers

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jamaica are leaders in Group B of the final round of Concacaf World Cup qualifying following the first round of games played on Friday.

Jamaica are on three points after their 4-0 win over Bermuda earlier in the day and  Trinidad and Tobago and Curacao are tied on a point each, after playing out a 0-0 draw in their game played at the Hasely Crawford Stadium in Port of Spain.
 Bermuda are at the foot of the points standing, yet to register a point.

The ReggaeBoyz will host Trinidad and Tobago at the National Stadium on Tuesday.

Jamaica scored two goals in either half in their comfortable win at the Dame Flora Duffy National Sports Centre in Hamilton, Bermuda, the first time they were scoring four goals in a game since October 2023 in a 4-1 win over Grenada.

The win was the fifth straight by Jamaica in a World Cup qualifier for the first time since the 1998 WCQ Campaign.

Damion Lowe gave Jamaica an early lead when he scored his fourth international goal in the sixth minute before Renaldo Cephas scored his second international goal in the 26 th minute to double the advantage.

Kasey Palmer also got his second goal for Jamaica when he scored in the third in the 58th minute before Shamar Nicholson came off the bench to score his 20th international goal for Jamaica in the 90th minute.
