Whitmore... should have had a second goal
[align=justify]Jamaica's Reggae Boyz and Panama played to a tense 1-1 draw in their CONCACAF Group A World Cup qualifier at the Rommel Fernandez Stadium in Panama City last night.[/align]
[align=justify]Panama took a deserved lead through striker Roberto Brown in the 22nd minute. It was Brown's third goal against Jamaica in as many games. Theodore Whitmore equalised for the Reggae Boyz in the 74th minute and he should have scored the winner in the dying minutes but kicked straight to the Panamanian goalkeeper after Ricardo Fuller, dribbling down the left, had opened up the defence. The result means that with two rounds remaining, both teams move to five points and remain in contention for a place in the final phase of the World Cup qualifiers slated for next year.[/align]
