Jamaica’s young Reggae Boyz kick-started their Concacaf Under-20 Championships in Mexico with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Honduras in Group C at the Estadio Universitario BUAP, in Puebla, Mexico, on Sunday.

Midfielder Jahmarie Nolan, who is also a key member of the under-17 team that secured qualification to the U-17 World Cup earlier this year, continued his rich international goalscoring form with the opening goal for the young Reggae Boyz after 22 minutes.

The Jamaicans then had to defend stoutly as the Hondurans came hunting for the equaliser, and the Central Americans eventually breached the Jamaican defence when Victor Salazar came up on the end of a neat through ball and slotted home with 15 minutes to spare.
