Transcript
00:00Denzel Smith was called into action from as early as the fifth minute of play.
00:04It was a short corner that he managed to tip over the bar.
00:11TNT had a chance as well after a long throw, but Kobe Henry put a difficult effort over the bar.
00:19It got a little rough in the 39th minute.
00:22Casey Palmer getting a yellow card for the infringement.
00:25Garcia then put himself in a good position with Yates pushing a ball through.
00:31He went down, but no penalty was given.
00:36Garcia thought he got just reward for the earlier infringement.
00:40He caught them off guard, cutting in before scoring.
00:431-0, TNT in the lead, or so they thought.
00:48The referee called upon VAR, and the goal was disallowed.
00:53The lights were turned off for a moment in defence, and TNT paid the ultimate price.
00:59Bailey Kadamaru Terry pushing his way through in the 36th minute to put Jamaica in front.
01:04That's how the teams go to half-time, with Jamaica holding a 1-0 lead.
01:11TNT enjoyed some good moments at the start of the second half, but in the 57th minute,
01:16they could not stop a move which developed in the midfield, and went all the way to goal.
01:21They appealed for offside, but it was eventually turned down.
01:25John Russell scores in the 57th minute of play.
01:28Jamaica goes 2-0 ahead.
01:30It looked like he was in an offside position, although that did come off the head of a Trinidad
01:36and Tobago defender.
01:37Now, was that considered a deliberate touch?
01:40That is going to be the big question here.
01:42Henry got his head on it.
01:46Russell was no doubt in an offside position when it was last touched by a Jamaican player.
01:51A difficult pill to swallow.
01:56Can TNT get back into the match?
01:59It involves Garcia again.
02:012-1 in Kingston.
02:03But then, again, another offside call.
02:07Score remains at 2-0.
02:10Over to the 72nd minute.
02:13Surely, TNT scores on this occasion.
02:15Garcia is the captain.
02:16He has to be the man to do it.
02:18He finds the back of the net, but this time he knows what happened.
02:22Three offside calls all go against the TNT.
02:27They held greater possession, had more passes and more shots on goal, but scoring was a no-go.
02:33Jamaica defended their home turf and secure an important 2-0 win.
02:37Jamaica go to 6 points and atop the group ahead of Curaçao who moved to 2nd on 4 points,
02:43while TNT are in 3rd and Bermuda 4th in Group B.
