It was the only defeat of the qualifiers for the Young Reggae Boyz, who on Wednesday qualified for this summer’s FIFA Under-17 World Cup after defeating Honduras 2-1 in the quarterfinal.
The United States will now face Canada in the final, scheduled for Sunday at the same venue. Canada advanced to the final following a one-nil victory over Panama in the first semi-final.
