MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica -- Jamaica were crowned champions of the Caribbean Football Union Caribbean Cup after outscoring Trinidad and Tobago 4-3 on penalties in front of a vociferous home crowd at the Montego Bay Sports Complex a short while ago.
After neither team was able to find the target during 90 minutes of regulation plus 30 minutes of extra time, goalkeeper Andre Blake gave Jamaica the ideal start in the shoot-out when he saved the penalty of Trinidad and Tobago captain Kenwyne Jones.
Jermaine Taylor, Jobi McAnuff, Demar Phillips and captain Rodolph Austin, who was named man-of-the-match, were on target for the Reggae Boyz, who were winning their sixth title. Teenager Michael Seaton was the only Jamaican player to miss from 12 yards.
It was a courageous effort from the Boyz, who were the better team for much of the game, as they created the better scoring opportunities, but just couldn't find the target.
It was Jamaica's first win since lifting the trophy under the guidance of coach Theodore Whitmore in Martinique in 2010. more
