The Reggae Boyz came from behind to beat Canada 2-1 in a friendly international at the National Stadium on Sunday. Luton Shelton and Demar Phillips scored two minutes apart late in the first half after Tomasz Radzinski gave the Canadians the lead in the ninth minute. It was a sweet victory for the Boyz as they avenged last month's friendly loss in Montreal. The victory also served as a moral booster for Jamaica who was recently eliminated from the Digicel Cup and CONCACAF Gold Cup qualifying.
Jamaica's first goal came 35 minutes into the game when Omar Daley picked up the ball in defense and played it down the left flank to Phillips who in turn sent a nice cross to the onrushing Shelton to slam home from close range. Immediately after midfielder Jermaine Hue weaved pass four defenders and played the ball to Phillips, who finished with clinical accuracy for the winning goal.
The Reggae Boyz will next play Peru in an international friendly on November 15 at the National Stadium.
