The Reggae Boyz returned to winning ways on Sunday, narrowly defeating Grenada 1-0 in an international friendly at Kirani James Stadium in St. George’s.
The decisive moment came in the 81st minute, when Tivoli Gardens striker Nickalia Fuller struck his first international goal, finishing clinically from inside the box. The goal was set up by a dazzling run from Dwayne Atkinson down the right flank, who delivered a precise pass that allowed Fuller to fire past the Grenada goalkeeper.
The friendly was an important opportunity for new head coach Rudolph Speid and his technical team to assess emerging talent and experiment with tactics ahead of crucial upcoming fixtures. Several players looking to secure a spot in the squad for the Inter-Confederation Cup Playoff in Mexico were given valuable game time.
Jamaica’s next challenge comes on March 26 in Monterrey, where they will face New Caledonia. The winner of that match will earn the chance to compete against DR Congo for a coveted spot at the FIFA World Cup, marking a significant step in Jamaica’s campaign to return to football’s biggest stage.
The match offered glimpses of tactical flexibility, attacking intent, and emerging talent—positive signs for fans eagerly anticipating the Reggae Boyz’s World Cup journey.
