A valiant effort, but Reggae Boyz fail to recover from early red and injuries
Last year, the Reggae Boyz won a great deal of credit but no matches at Copa America. This year's foray into CONMEBOL's showpiece tournament looks ominously as though it might follow the same script: the 1-0 loss to Venezuela in the first game of Jamaica's Copa Centenario group stage neatly mirrored the trio of 1-0 losses the team posted in this tournament last summer.
In this instance, Jamaica started brightly against one of the less-fancied South American teams in this competition.
