The Caribbean Team Dominates in Second Gold Cup Match and Advances to Next Round

The Caribbean team shone in their second match for the Gold Cup and takes an important step to advance to the next round.

Jamaica did not make the same mistake of leaving its rival alive, as it did in its debut against the United States (1-1), and before half an hour it was on track for a resounding victory that ended 4-1 against Trinidad and Tobago in the Gold Cup.

The Reggae Boyz were withering in the Caribbean clash for date 2 of Group A in St. Louis, Missouri. The scoring opened just after 14 minutes in a combination between Aston Villa striker Leon Bailey and Everton midfielder Demarai Gray, who hung the ball high on the far post.

Three minutes later, the Jamaican Premier League players got back together, but swapping roles; Bailey defined one-on-one against the Trinidadian goalkeeper after a great ball from Gray.

Demarai nailed the lapidary 3-0 lead as the clock ticked down to 27 minutes, after West Ham United attacker Michail Antonio gave him a ball that he only pushed into the back of the net.

Demarai Gray, Leon Bailey and Michael Antonio celebrate Jamaica’s 3-0 win over Trinidad in the Gold Cup.

In the supplement, the team led by the Icelander Heimir Hallgrímsson received the discount from Trinidad and Tobago (Andre Rampersad 49′), but they finished the match scoring in the discount after the target converted by Dujuan Richards, a 17-year-old youth squad from Chelsea in England.

With this victory Jamaica began to lead their group for the moment with 4 points above Trinidad, which has three, and the United States (1 pts) that closes the day against Saint Kitts and Nevis.

Jamaica only has to draw in their next game against San Cristóbal to seal their place in the next round.
