Panama stayed undefeated
in the Final Round of CONCACAF
World Cup qualification
for Qatar 2022 with an
emphatic 3-0 victory over
Jamaica’s Reggae Boyz on
Sunday at Independence Park
in Kingston, the Jamaican
capital.
CONCACAF said Panama
now has four points after Sunday’s
win and last Thursday’s
opening 0-0 home draw versus
Costa Rica, while Jamaica
is still searching for its first
point of qualification following
Sunday’s result and Thursday’s
2-1 loss to Mexico.
Panama opened the scoring
in the 14th minute through
an unlikely scorer, CONCACAF
said.
“Center back Andres
Andrade stepped into the
center circle and picked off
a pass,” it said. “But, rather
than find an attacker, he opted
to dribble forward and fire off
a shot before he got into the
penalty area.
“The attempt surprised
Jamaica goalkeeper Andre
Blake, and Panama was off the
mark, 1-0,” CONCACAF said.
It said Panama looked for
a second in the 35th minute,
with Jose Luis Rodriguez getting
the ball in the box and
looking to curl a shot past
Blake, but CONCACAF said
the Jamaican shot-stopper
had the shot in his sights and
made the stop.
Two minutes later, it said
Rodriguez turned provider,
putting in a cross of his
own for Rolando Blackburn,
whose header also ended up in
Blake’s hands.
But Blackburn used that as
experience to double the lead
in the 39th minute, beating
Liam Moore to an Eric Davis
cross and sending his header
past Blake to give the Central
Americans the 2-0 lead heading
into the halftime break,
CONCACAF said.
It said Jamaica manager,
Theodore Whitmore made a
pair of changes at halftime,
bringing Junior Flemmings
and Devon Williams into
the contest and also made
another pair of subs in the
73rd minute, including inserting
Shamar Nicholson, who
scored in the 2-1 loss to Mexico,
for Michail Antonio, who
made his Jamaica debut on
Sunday.
“Jamaica had perhaps its
best chance of the game in the
77th minute, with a shot from
Nicholson forcing Panama GK
(goal keeper) Luis Mejia into
action,” CONCACAF said.
“But moments later, it was
Panama on the counter-attack,
and midfielder Adalberto
Carrasquilla played in Cecilio
Waterman, who sent his finish
past Blake to tie a bow on the
victory for Panama,” it added.
CONCACAF said Jamaica
closes out the window with
a trip to Costa Rica, while
Panama will put its undefeated
record on the line against
Mexico in Panama City.
