Jamaica regained the lead in Group B of the Concacaf final round World Cup qualification in style after hammering Bermuda 4-0 in their return round game played at the National Stadium in Kingston.
After slipping up against Curacao in the previous round, Jamaica rebounded to hammer the hapless Bermuda and move to nine points, one point ahead of Curacao, whilst Trinidad and Tobago trail in third place on five points. For Bermuda, they were yet to earn a point and were eliminated from going any further.
Having led 3-0 at half time, it was substitute, Dujuan Richards, who finished the scoring, with a 76th minute strike, to put the final gloss on what was an overwhelming victory. Jamaica scored three goals within a 15-minute period to take the game away from Bermuda, with an own goal by Dante Leverock coming in the 24th minute, with additional goals coming from from Bobby Fray and Shamar Nicholson shortly after.
Leverock headed a corner past his own goalkeeper, while Renaldo Cephas created the second and third goals, using his speed to get the Bermuda defence and produced crosses for Reid and Nicholson to score from close range. Richards, who was called into the squad as replacement for an injured Demarai Gray, dribbled through most of the Bermudan half of the field and even while being challenged by three defenders, managed to beat the goalkeeper for the fourth goal.
