Panama defeated Jamaica 3-2 this Sunday on the tenth date of the Concacaf octagonal, a result that allows it to continue in the fight for a ticket to the Qatar-2022 World Cup.
The goals of the game, played at the Rommel Fernández stadium in Panama City, were scored by Javain Brown (own goal, 43), Eric Davis (51) and Azmahar Ariano (69) for the locals, while Michail Antonio (5) and Andre Gray (87) scored for the visit.
With this result, Panama regains confidence, after the recent defeat against Costa Rica, and keeps alive the options of qualifying for its second World Cup, at the expense of a Jamaica that practically says goodbye to any aspiration.
The Concacaf World Cup awards three direct tickets to Qatar and the possibility of a playoff for the fourth-placed team against a team from Oceania.
With four rounds to go, Canada leads the standings with 22 points, followed by the United States with 18, Mexico and Panama 17, Costa Rica 12, Jamaica 7, El Salvador 6 and Honduras closes with 3 units.
Mexicans, Costa Ricans, Salvadorans and Hondurans have one game less.
On the next day, on Wednesday, Panama will visit Mexico, while Jamaica will host Costa Rica.
