Blake, Jamaica win Gold Cup group, bound for Philly

Despite allowing long-distance equalizer late in stoppage time, the Jamaican National Team advanced out of Group C and is headed to Philadelphia for a quarterfinal matchup in the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup.

The 1-1 result against Curacao might have left the team with just a single point but coupled with Honduras 4-0 beatdown of El Salvador, the Reggae Boyz finished top of the group and extended its group stage unbeaten streak in the tournament to 13 games.

Shamar Nicholson put the Reggae Boyz ahead early in the contest at Banc of California Stadium with a 14th-minute strike.
