JAMAICA’S campaign at the Concacaf Under-20 Championship ended in defeat on Wednesday night as a 1-3 extra-time loss to Canada at Estadio Cuauhtémoc ended their chances of qualifying for the FIFA Under-20 World Cup and the Los Angeles Olympic Games.

Rodolph Austin’s team fought back to force extra time after an unbeaten group stage, but two goals in that period sent Jesse Marsch’s Canada through to the semi-finals.

Canada controlled the early stages with a high press that made it difficult for Jamaica to keep the ball in midfield. Richard Chukwu broke through in the second minute to set up Lucas Lima, who shot wide, before Owen Graham-Roache missed a similar chance five minutes later.
