The Reggae Boyz were in top gear last night as they put on a show for their fans, downing hosts Nicaragua 2-0 in the Concacaf Nations League A Group B clash at the Nicaragua National Football Stadium.
From the get-go, it was clear the Jamaicans had the upper hand as they took charge and pushed their opponents to the limit. Employing an aggressive style of football that delighted the sparse away crowd, Jamaica went on to create several scoring opportunities that tested the Nicaraguan defense.
Even with the home team desperate to make their presence count, the Reggae Boyz proved too hot to handle, capitalizing on two pivotal moments in the match that left a packed Nicaragua National Football Stadium - which still seemed relatively empty - stunned into silence.
At the end of the 90-plus minutes, Nicaragua were left heartbroken while Jamaica celebrated what was ultimately a deserved three points to boost their Group B campaign, proving they were more than a cut above the level of their Central American opponents on this day.
Now although only time can tell if this huge moment for the Reggae Boyz will serve as an adequate launchboard to success in the ongoing quest for Concacaf Nations League glory, their exploits last night - the pick of which was undoubtedly this most recent win in Managua - speak volumes about the quality that exists within their camp.
However, more daunting matches lie ahead, meaning Jamaica and their top players must not feel fully at ease just yet, but the signs - much to the delight of their interim manager, Paul Hall - are good for this sprightly group of players who find themselves nicely perched in an increasingly delicate table, up for anything.
Although the level of competition in such gatherings has arguably shrunk somewhat due to several factors, when the Reggae Boyz can consistently command that level of respect in future games - providing momentum against the sport’s leading players, teams and matches - Jamaica should perhaps have nothing to worry about come this season.
