Jürgen Locadia had a good look for Curaçao in the 66’, but his finish from inside the box was saved by Jamaica goalkeeper Andre Blake at the bottom-left corner.

Two more headers rattled the woodwork as the Reggae Boyz pushed in search of the winner, with Shamar Nicholson hitting the crossbar in the 70’ and Bailey Cadamarteri the right post in the 87’.

With the result, Curaçao finishes first in Group B to clinch direct qualification for what will be the nation’s historic first appearance at a World Cup.
