Reggae Boyz return from Argentina tomorrow

Jamaica’s Reggae Boyz are scheduled to arrive home tomorrow afternoon following a brave performance last night in an international friendly against football giants Argentina at Jose Marilla Minella Stadium.



The Jamaicans, ranked 78th in the world, conceded a pair of late goals to slump to a 2-1 defeat.



The Jamaicans were leading from early in the second half following a strike from Ryan Johnson in the 46th minute, but gave up goals to Martin Palermo and Ignacio Canutto in the last 10 minutes to help Argentina avoid an embarrassing loss at home.



Jamaica appeared to be heading to a memorable maiden victory over the two-time World champions, whose famous coach Diego Maradona fielded a side with five newcomers and none of Argentina’s European exiles.



However poor marking from the Boyz saw Palermo break through in the 83rd minute to meet Jesus Mendez\'s cross with a firm header giving goalkeeper Dwayne Miller no chance.



The game was then heading for a draw, but Palermo then returned the favour to Canutto for the 89th-minute substitute to put the Argentines ahead in stoppage time.
