Cuba hold Jamaica to 0-0 draw

Jamaica were held to a 0-0 draw by 10-man Cuba in their Group B, League A Concacaf Nations League game at the National Stadium earlier tonight.

Cuba were reduced to 10 men when Yunior Perez was ejected after denying a clear goal-scoring opportunity a minute before the break.

Although the Reggae Boyz dominated possession and created a number of chances, outstanding goalkeeping from Raiko Arozarena in goal kept the Jamaicans off the scoresheet with some spectacular saves in the second half.

Nicaragua currently lead the group with maximum three points after one round of matches.

Jamaica and Cuba are second in in the group on one point. Honduras and Trinidad and Tobago are playing tonight’s late game. French Guiana are at the bottom after losing 1-0 to Nicaragua. Jamaica will play their next game against Honduras on Tuesday in Honduras.
