Goal and Highlights: Jamaica 0-1 Guatemala in Gold Cup

The match is over! The 90 minutes of regular time plus extra time have come to an end. A very interesting and eventful match was played. Guatemala takes the win after a back-and-forth contest.

Thank you for joining us!

It was so close! It's a great cross that Pinnock manages to finish beautifully at goal, but the ball ends up going over the goal, leaving him with little chance of tying the game.       

There's more. The referee decides to add five minutes to the final whistle. These are crucial minutes in which both teams will look to create danger, find opportunities to attack, and prevent their own goals from being conceded.

The match went back and forth, with Jamaica constantly pushing for the equalizer, but the Guatemalan squad was multiplying its defense, providing good defensive cover against so much attack.   

Jamaica has two substitutions, as the team is looking to tie the match, with the difference being just one goal. Jon Russell and Damion Low are leaving the field after significant physical strain. Michail Antonio and Kaheim Dixon are coming on for the final whistle.

Guatemala makes a final substitution. Cardozo comes in to create more danger and find more opportunities in Blake's goal; Rudy Muñoz leaves the game. They want more goals in this end of the match.

Jamaica hasn't generated anything, they've had few chances on goal, but the defense and goalkeeper remain alert to prevent them from having dangerous attacks, and they're unable to appear in the box.

Guatemala's substitution. The lineup of the momentarily winning squad is shuffled again. Rodrigo Saravia enters the match, and Stheven Robles is substituted. They want more goals for them.   

They're still on top! The visitors are once again looking for a goal. Aarón Herrera's good assist made it into Jamaica's box, where Pedro Altán made his presence felt, but that shot ended up going wide.

They keep pushing! Guatemala keeps looking. Now it was Óscar Santis's turn to deliver a dangerous ball. The shot was centered, and Rubio Rubin made his presence felt with a good header, but it didn't do any damage

Reggae Boyz substitutions. Jamaica makes two changes. Demarai'i Gray and Warner Brown come off the pitch, and Kasey Palmer and Rumarn Burrell come on for those positions.       

Two changes for Guatemala. Pedro Altán and Rubio Rubin came onto the field looking to create more interesting chances. Kevin Ramírez and Darwin Lom came off the field, the latter of whom failed to fully recover.

Continue! The match was briefly halted, with Darwin Lom lying on the pitch for a while receiving medical attention. However, he has since gotten up and will continue playing       

Jamaica's next attempt came after a cross from Demarai'i Gray into the box. Jon Russell looked to finish with a great header, but the shot ended up going wide, they need more opportunities.   

Nothing! Great clearance from Blake. It was Guatemala who sent a good cross into the box via Rudy Muñoz. José Morales then stepped up to shoot, but they couldn't get it in  

Not like that! It was a good pass orchestrated by Stheven Robles, the player sent it round into the area, and then Rudy Muñoz appeared with a tremendous shot that he managed to finish, but the ball went wide.

They don't make it! It was Leon Bailey who shot at goal with the aim of tying the match, but the ball ended up going wide without creating any danger and leaving the score still goalless.   

The match resumes! Guatemala and Jamaica return to the field, looking to play well in the second half. Jamaica makes a change, with Dexter Lembikisa coming on to play a strong match, while Richard King comes off the pitch.

Halftime at the stadium. After a rather hectic first half, Guatemala momentarily took the lead, a good duel that the Guatemalans were generating with very good play on this pitch.      

Little by little, time is running out in this first half. Guatemala maintains possession of the ball and prevents plays from growing, instead seeking to generate damage in the opponent's zone to go for more goals.

Brown was looking for the goal that would tie the match, however, the round ended up evaporating on one side, little by little the locals looked to generate danger and go for goals that would give them interesting moments.

Jamaica has achieved little to nothing; the home team has been unable to generate dangerous balls up front or seek goals; the game has been lacking, and the Reggae Boyz have been unable to take control of the round.

Goal, goal, goal, goal for Guatemala! A great collective play by the Guatemalans. Lom sends a good ball into the box. The ball is powerfully finished and they manage to pierce Blake's goal. 

Not like that. Guatemala now looked to open the scoring, but after a good ball into the box from Samayoa, Lom was too far off his feet. He achieved little, and the referee prevented any further action.

Nothing! The ball ended up disappearing without creating any danger, Gray was the architect of this stroke, a very disputed duel where the Jamaicans looked for the first of the match to thus make a statement.

Everything is in the midfield these days, and despite the visitors' insistence, they are unable to take control of the ball and run towards the opponent's goal. Little by little, they continue to find ways to generate the necessary danger.

The match was very rough, with numerous fouls committed in the first half. Jamaica and Guatemala were quite heated, and every time a foul was called, the players got into small arguments.  

It can't be! Guatemala took the lead with a good goal for their team, however, when it came to scoring, it was Lom who was in an offside position and the play ended up being disallowed. 

Darwin Lom was looking to create danger in the opponent's area, however it was Bell who managed to take the ball away from him, however the Guatemalan ended up committing a serious foul and the play stopped, giving the ball to Jamaica.

Guatemala is the team that most seeks to create danger up front. Little by little, the visiting squad is pushing forward with impetus. The Reggae Boyz are trying to keep those balls away; they don't want any danger in that area.

Look forward! Santis was looking to cause damage to Blake's goal, but Bell managed to make his presence felt and clear the ball, as the game was playing at such a fast pace in these opening minutes.

Little to nothing has been achieved, despite both teams starting this match aggressively, they have not managed to generate enough danger in the opponent's goal, little by little they gain more ground, but they fail to reach any danger.

The match started off very close, despite Guatemala's attempts, but Jamaica was in a strong position and was fending off every incoming attack in search of the first goal that would open the scoring gap for both teams.

The ball is moving. The action in this important match has begun. It will be an intense and exciting 90 minutes. Both teams are eager to score goals and put on a good performance.

Luis Fernando Tena spoke before facing Guatemala: “Panama is the strongest team in Central America; they're obviously the favorite to finish first, but this is football and you have to play the games. Guatemala, El Salvador, and Suriname are very evenly matched. I repeat, Panama is the strongest, but that doesn't mean we can't beat them. I think we can beat them in both Guatemala and Panama.” “We're up for a fight with anyone; we're a team that's been growing. We have to give young players a chance to show their skills, but we're very well prepared and in good spirits. We're a good team and we're going to fight hard for every ball.” “All the teams are already thinking about September with the qualifying matches, but the Gold Cup comes first, and that's also important.” “I think they'll be two intriguing games. Tomorrow we start with the first one, we'll be looking to take the lead in the group, and then the Gold Cup comes next, but we're two countries that will be in the final stages of the qualifying round.”

Steve McClaren stated before the Gold Cup matches: "Every game is very important for us. It's important to win the games. We have to find a way to win, no matter what. Tomorrow we have to do it again, against a good team like Guatemala, which we already know and will face in the Gold Cup." "Tomorrow we're playing more for pride than anything. We'll be playing in our stadium and with our fans. I appreciate the support they've given us. Even in the Virgin Islands, there was good support, and I have no doubt that tomorrow will be the same." "We know in the locker room that we can be better and we need to be better next week against Guatemala."

This was the last starting eleven with which the visiting squad entered the qualifying match, a rather complex duel.

Bicholas Hagen; Carlos Daniel Aguilar, José Ardón, José Pinto, José Morales Concua; Rodrigo Saravia, Óscar Antonio Castellanos, Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, Olger Escobar, Erick Lemus; Arquímides Ordóñez.
