Jamaica’s Reggae Boyz have qualified for the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Jamaica took an early lead in the fourth minute of the match when Aston Villa forward Leon Bailey split two Mexico defenders and powered a header from Shamar Nicholson’s cross into the back of the net.
Nicholson hit the crossbar before 10 minutes with an effort that would have doubled the hosts’ advantage, before Mexico gradually began to control possession and find a foothold in the game.
Mexico drew level in first-half stoppage time with a header by Luis Romo, who ran onto a lobbed in pass from Luis Chavez and beat Jamaica keeper Andre Blake to send the teams into the break tied 1-1.
