Reggae Boyz beaten 3-0 by Nigeria in Unity Cup final
Jamaica’s Reggae Boyz were beaten 3-0 by Nigeria in the final of the Unity Cup on Saturday at The Valley in London, with Alhassan Yusuf scoring a brace as the West Africans won the event for the fourth straight time.
The defeat marked a third straight final loss for Jamaica, which also finished as runners-up in 2022 and 2025.
Nigeria took the lead in just the second minute when Yusuf fired past Jamaican goalkeeper Coniah Boyce-Clarke.
They maintained their advantage through to half-time before Terem Moffi doubled the lead in the 59th minute after what seemed like a mix-up in Jamaica’s defence.
Yusuf completed his brace in time added, beating Boyce-Clarke, who had advanced off his line.
