Former Reggae Boyz's head coach Carl Brown's last game at the helm will go down in history as a 1-1 draw, as his team came from behind to earn the result at the National Stadium last night.
Alexander Sanchez opened the scoring for the visitors in the 65th minute while Jermaine Hue equalised for Jamaica in the 77th to leave the honours even.
"It's always like a pause when you are not there to continue the work that you seek so I have mixed emotions to see this one end," said Brown, adding that this might not be his final hurrah because he has 35 years of experience for the national programme to use.
The game itself started slowly. In the first 13 minutes of the game, Jamaica's only signs of life came from Hue, who produced two beautiful passes that could have resulted in goals.
Luton's lighting
Outside of that, the Jamaicans - and Hue was also guilty of this - gave away the ball all too easily.
Then Luton Shelton took to <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">lighting</SPAN> up the game, as technical director-elect Velibor 'Bora' Milutinovic watched the game with his <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">video </SPAN><SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: blue! important; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">camera</SPAN> in the stands.
Shelton first picked up a ball in the 16th minute and dribbled past two markers before releasing a through ball to an offside Ricardo Fuller who, truth be told, wasn't having his best game.
Again Shelton showed no regard for his markers, beating two on the touchline in the 18th minute to square the ball with his left foot
