PUEBLA, Mexico — Jamaica Under-20 footballers having secured a spot into the quarter-final, turn their attention to beating Panama today in their Group C CONCACAF Championship top-of-the-table clash at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc, starting at 4:30 pm Jamaican time.
Both Jamaica and Panama are on three points after defeating Puerto Rico 4-1 and 4-0, respectively, in the three-team group and both will be aiming to secure top spot in order to play the second-placed team from Group D, which could likely be El Salvador, who eliminated Curacao 2-1.
Perennial powerhouse Mexico, who whipped Curacao 3-0, are expected to top Group D and will play the second-placed team from Group C for a spot in the FIFA World Cup set for Turkey between June 21-July 13.
For a smoother path on the onward journey, it would suit the Jamaicans to avoid Mexico, therefore they must beat Panama and top the group and place their fate in their own hands.
