Jamaica’s Reggae Boyz face an early hurdle in their quest to reach the quarterfinals of the Concacaf Gold Cup after a 1-0 loss to Group C rivals Guatemala at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.
The lone goal of the match came in the 32nd minute when midfielder Oscar Santis found the net, handing Guatemala a crucial victory in the tournament opener.
The result leaves Jamaica at the bottom of Group C with no points, while Guatemala climbs to the top with 3 points. However, they sit second on goal difference behind Panama, who dominated Guadeloupe 5-2 earlier in the double-header.
The Reggae Boyz will look to bounce back quickly when they face Guadeloupe at PayPal Park In San Jose on Friday.
