Canada down Jamaica in CONCACAF Nations League quarters in Kingston

KINGSTON: A late goal by Stephen Eustaquio handed Canada a 2-1 victory over Jamaica in their weather-delayed CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal in Kingston on Saturday.

Porto midfielder Eustaquio swept in a low finish on 85 minutes to seal victory for Canada after Jamaica had fought back to level through Shamar Nicholson earlier in the second half.

Saturday’s quarterfinal was initially due to have been played on Friday but was postponed after torrential rain left the National Stadium pitch waterlogged.

Canada took the lead in first-half stoppage time after a sustained period of dominance.

Real Mallorca winger Cyle Larin lost his marker just inside the penalty area and fired a low cross across the six-yard box where an unmarked Jonathan David was waiting at the far post to tap in.

But Jamaica hit back early in the second half after a defensive lapse by the Canadians. Agencies
