Jamaica’s Reggae Boys and the Super Eagles from Nigeria battled to a goalless draw in their friendly international at the New Den Stadium in London a short while ago.



Two England-based players made their debut for Jamaica in the game.



Tyrone Mears, who is on loan at Marseille, was drafted into the starting eleven while 20 year old West Ham player Zavon Hinds came on in the second half.



The Reggae Boys were missing a number of key players due to injury.



Captain Ricardo Gardner, goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts, central defender Ian Goodison and striker Ricardo Fuller were sidelined by recent injuries.
