February 09, 2026
Jamaica kept on track in their quest for a place in the 2026 Men's Under-17 World Cup, while heaping pressure on group rivals Canada, with striker Kelvin Brown scoring four times to give Jamaica a comfortable 12-0 win over the Cayman Islands in their Group G Concacaf qualifier in Costa Rica on Sunday.
Brown scored in the first, 44th, 72nd and 73rd minutes, while other goals came from Jahmarie Nolan (17th, 45th), Jamone Lyle (14th, 58th), Jaedon Morgan (48th), Tyraun Bembridge (76th, 88th) and an own goal.
The win placed Jamaica atop the standings with maximum six points, ahead of second-place Canada, who were scheduled to play Aruba in the late game.
The game was still in its first minute when Brown fired home the opening goal. The Jamaicans continued to create good openings and in the 17th minute Nolan slotted home a second to establish Jamaica's dominance.
Moments later Lyle fired home from the edge of the box to add a third, as the Jamaicans looked to run away with the game before halftime.
Brown then added a fourth and Nolan a fifth in first half stoppage time to cap off a superb first-half display by the young Reggae Boyz.
Jamaica picked up where they left off in the second half, with Morgan extending the lead to 6-0 just three minutes into the half.
An own goal by Williams Kirksey in the 55th munute put the young Boyz 7-0 up and Lyle added his second of the match in the 58th minute to make it 8-0.
Brown then scored twice (72nd and 73rd) within a minute to take the score to 10-0, before Tyraun Bembridge added another two goals ( 76th, 88th) to seal the dozen.
