Jamaica’s Reggae Boyz beat
Honduras on Honduran soil for
the first time in CONCACAF
World Cup qualification history
with goals on either side of the
half, lifting the visitors to a 2-0
win at the Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano
in San Pedro Sula on
Wednesday.
It’s the Reggae Boyz’ first victory
of the final round of World
Cup qualification for Qatar 2022,
taking the team to five points,
while Honduras has three after
six matchdays.
Honduras thought it may have
had an opener in the 33rd minute
when Jamaica Goal Keeper Andre
Blake initially failed to hold onto
a long ball, before pouncing on it
right as Angel Tejeda tried put a
foot on it, keeping the scoreline at
0-0, CONCACAF said.
“That changed shortly thereafter,
though, as Kemar Roofe
scored his debut Jamaica goal
in the 38th minute by redirecting
a shot from inside the box by
Shamar Nicholson past Honduras
GK Luis Lopez to make it 1-0
to Jamaica,” CONCACAF said.
It said Honduras launched
numbers forward in hopes of
getting back on level terms in
the second half, “but Blake and
the Jamaica defense would not
break.”
CONCACAF said the Jamaican
lead was then doubled in the
80th minute when a pass found
onrushing fullback Oniel Fisher,
who charged into the box and
took a hard shot that beat Lopez
to make it 2-0.
On Sunday, a scoreless draw
between Jamaica and Canada
at Independence Park in Kingston
took Jamaica to a pair of
points in the final round of World
Cup qualification, while Canada
earned its second consecutive
away draw and now sits on seven
points.
“After an even first half, things
heated up in the second 45
minutes. Canada had a chance
just after the ball started rolling
again, before a Jamaica free
kick in the 50th minute taken by
Kemar Lawrence was met by Junior
Flemmings, who hit the post
with a header,” CONCACAF said.
In the 80th minute, it said
Jamaica’s Kemar Roofe led a counter
attack and tried his luck from
outside the box with “a strong
right-footed effort, but narrowly
missed the upper 90 of Canada
GK Maxime Crepeau’s net.”
CONCACAF said Canada kept
pushing for the breakthrough
goal as well, with chances in the
84th minute “when Alistar Johnson
was unable to get his effort on
target after a nice build-up, followed
by an opportunity the 86th
minute when Alphonso Davies
pulled a few tricks out of his bag,
but ultimately ran into the Jamaican
defense in the area.”
