Andre Blake and Jamaica draw Curaçao, advance to Gold Cup quarterfinal in Philadelphia

Andre Blake will miss at least two more games with the Philadelphia Union, but he’ll be back in town this weekend for the Gold Cup quarterfinal after Jamaica survived a late surge from Curaçao to book a spot in the next round with a 1-1 draw.

Blake wasn’t called on to make a save until the 74th minute when Leandro Bacuna struck a ball from distance right at the 28-year-old and he made a stop on another Bacuna shot seconds later. Blake was minutes away from recording a clean sheet when Juriën Gaari rocketed a shot from distance Blake could only watch going into the upper corner of the net.
