Short-handed Jamaica beats El Salvador 2-1 to revive hopes at CONCACAF U-20 Championship
3/8/2009 - BACOLET, Tobago – Alonzo Adlam scored in the 56th minute and led a nine-man Jamaica to a 2-1 victory over El Salvador on Sunday, reviving the Caribbean island’s hopes at the CONCACAF Under-20 Championship.
The Young Boyz played the entire second half with a man disadvantage after defender Andre Darby was ejected in the 37th minute and striker Dever Orgill followed seven minutes later. El Salvador also had a man ejected, defender Nelson Ismael in the 33rd.
The victory gave Jamaica a share of the Group A lead with the United States with three points. The Americans, which beat Jamaica 3-0 on the opening day Friday, were to play Honduras later Sunday. El Salvador remained tied with Honduras with one point. Jamaica will face Honduras on Tuesday while El Salvador will take on the United States.
Two teams in each group will advance to the semifinals and earn berths in the U-20 World Cup in Egypt September 24-October 16.
Romario Campbell gave Jamaica the lead in the eighth minute, but the advantage lasted only three minutes until Herbert Arnoldo equalized in the 11th.
The red card to Orgill could be significant to Jamaica’s hopes. Orgill scored six goals during qualifying and shared the team lead along with Adlam.
The match was only the second between the two teams in CONCACAF play and first since 1970, a 0-0 draw in Cuba. El Salvador won the only other meeting, 3-0 in 1964.
