‘WE TRIED’

Jamaica coach Rudolph Speid said his team lost concentration on one play and that made the difference in their FIFA Intercontinental World Cup Playoff final against the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), after the Reggae Boyz’s 2026 World Cup dream ended at the final hurdle in Guadalajara, Mexico yesterday. The Reggae Boyz were beaten 1-0 by the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) at the Guadalajara Stadium. Axel Tuanzebe turned home from a corner in the first half of extra time for the game’s only goal and secured the African’s second World Cup appearance and first in 52 years.
