El Salvador 0-1 Jamaica: Schafer's men seal top spot

Jamaica remained unbeaten at the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup, downing El Salvador 1-0.

El Salvador's progression at the CONCACAF Gold Cup remains up in the air after it lost 1-0 to Jamaica in Toronto on Tuesday.

Garath McCleary's tap-in in the 72nd minute ensured Winfried Schafer's men of top spot in Group B with seven points, having already secured their quarterfinal place prior to the fixture at BMO Field.

The Reading man was on hand to score into an unguarded net, after El Salvador goalkeeper Derby Carrillo parried Adrian Mariappa's shot straight into his path.

Schafer's side was down to 10 men for the final 10 minutes, as Darren Mattocks earned a second yellow card for a studs-up challenge, but Jamaica held on to make it eight games in succession without defeat against the Salvadorians.
