KINGSTON, Jamaica — Raequan Campbell-Dennis scored a first-half double and Giovani Taylor came off the bench to score two more in the second half to lead Jamaica to a 7-0 drubbing of the Turks and Caicos Islands in their CONCACAF U-20 Qualifiers.

The Round one Group B game was played at Stadion Rignaal ‘Jean’ Francisca in Willemstad, Curaçao on Wednesday.

The Toronto FC Academy player, who had scored in Monday’s 3-0 win over Bonaire, helped the young Reggae Boyz score at least four goals in a CONCACAF U20 Qualifier since 2018.

Jamaica now has back-to-back clean sheets in CONCACAF U20 Qualifying for the first time since 2024.

Jamaica are still leading the points table on goal-difference as Puerto Rico beat Bonaire 5-0 and St Kitts were 3-0 winners over Cayman Islands, Jamaica’s next opponents on Friday.

Campbell-Dennis, who had also scored for the Under-17 team in their qualifying tournament last year, opened the scoring in the 10th minute and completed his brace three minutes later.

Jahmarie Nolan, also of the Toronto FC Academy and who was captain of the Jamaica Under-17 team that qualified for the FIFA World Cup in November, scored a third goal in the 19th minute before Jabarie Howell added a fourth in the 30th minute.

Taylor of Arnett Gardens and fellow second-half substitute Orel Miller of Portmore United, accounted for the three second-half goals.

Miller assisted on Taylor’s goal in the 61st minute, Miller got his goal in the 82nd minute, and Taylor completed his brace in the 87th minute.
