Jamaica Maintain CONCACAF Qualifying Lead Over Trinidad and Tobago

Jamaica's Reggae Boyz secured a 2-0 victory over Trinidad and Tobago in a CONCACAF World Cup 2026 qualifying match, maintaining their lead in Group B with six points. Bailey Cadamarteri scored his first senior international goal in the 36th minute, followed by Jon Russell's goal in the 57th minute, which stood after a VAR review. Despite Trinidad and Tobago's possession dominance and multiple goals by Levi Garcia being disallowed by VAR for offside, Jamaica held firm defensively. In the same group, Curacao edged Bermuda 3-2 with goals from Tahith Chong and a late winner by Tyrese Noslin, placing Curacao second with four points. The revised CONCACAF qualifying format includes three groups of four teams, with group winners qualifying automatically for the World Cup and the two best runners-up advancing to playoffs. This victory marks Jamaica's strong start to the final qualifying round as regional powers Canada, Mexico, and the United States prepare to co-host the tournament.
