00:04penultimate hurdle to World Cup qualification. Both the teams made a
00:09spirited start in the early going. Jamaica came closer though on their first
00:13attempt on goal. But they got the breakthrough of the set piece after 19
00:19minutes. The Islanders from the South Pacific kept Jamaica on their toes and
00:34forced Andrew Blake into one more save close to the end. But Jamaica held on to
00:39advance to face the Democratic Republic of Congo for a spot at the World Cup. And
00:44the other CONCACAF World Cup hopeful Suriname was a better side in the first
00:4845 minutes against Bolivia. The smallest nation in South America ought to have
00:53had at least a two-goal advantage but failed to convert chances. But it all
00:58came together early in the second half for Suriname.
01:02Ball, available shot here, loose in front. And it's in for Suriname.
01:07Bolivia coming off a 3-0 win over TNT finally found parity 24 minutes later from
01:12teenager Paniagua. And a stone-cold foul in the box would present Bolivia
01:18with a chance to take the lead. Yes! Miguel Teceros made no mistake with his
01:23attempt as Bolivia rallied to win 2-1 and set up a clash for a World Cup spot
