Jamaica Beaten by the USA 1-4… See Match Highlights
Today the Reggae Boyz played the United States for the 29th time and this time around it was in Europe at the Stadion Wiener Neustadt, Austria. The match kicked off at 12:25 PM Jamaica time. Going into the match the Jamaica National Football Federation had a contract disagreement with several of the players which lead to a starting eleven that have never played before together.
The Americans started off on the front foot and were in charge for most of the game for Jamaica was unable to keep a hold of the ball for long periods especially in the middle of the field and the defence which looked shaky.
The US scored first in the 34th minute and rocked up 2 more goals before Jamaican scored to make the match 3-1, the USA managed to score right before the final whistle in the 90th minute of the match to make it 4-1.
The American scorers were Sergino Dest, Brenden Aaronson and Sebastian Lletget who scored twice. On the other hand, Jamaica’s only goal came from the player wearing the number 17 shirt, Jamal Lowe in what was a well-completed counter-attack move.
