Costa Rica defeats Jamaica 3-0 in World Cup Qualifying

What could have been a huge boost for the Reggae Boyz turned into a huge bust as Jamaica fell to Costa Rica 3-0 in CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying. Celso Borges put Jamaica down early, with a goal in the sixth minute. Los Ticos captain Bryan Ruiz doubled the lead in the thirty-seventh minute, and the Montreal Impact's Johan Venegas put the final nail in the coffin in the seventy-seventh minute.

Philadelphia Union goalkeeper Andre Blake had a frustrating game, and the Venegas goal especially can't be blamed on him. Jamaica had been pressing most of the second half looking to cut the lead.
