Canada has the opportunity to secure a spot in the 2024 Copa America next year if they can prevent a loss on Tuesday at BMO Field, where they will face Jamaica in the second leg of the CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final tie. The Canucks gained an advantage in the opening match in Kingston with late goals in each half, securing a 2-1 victory. This win positions them close to achieving a second consecutive semi-final appearance in the competition.
Despite the delayed opening leg, the Canadians, led by interim boss Mauro Biello, secured their first victory on Saturday. This marked Canada’s first away win in Jamaica since 1988, maintaining a perfect 3-0 record against Caribbean nations in the competition. Biello’s choice of an experienced squad proved beneficial as they exhibited resilience to come back after a contentious equalizer, scoring beyond the 85th minute for the third consecutive match in all competitions. Canada boasts a flawless record in Nations League home fixtures, conceding just once in four matches at BMO Field while outscoring opponents 12-1 in three of those games. They remain unbeaten in their last 29 matches when scoring multiple times within 90 minutes, winning 27 of those instances. Notably, Canada hasn’t lost to a Caribbean opponent on North American soil in over four years, since a 2019 Gold Cup quarter-final defeat to Haiti.
On Saturday, the Reggae Boyz faced another slow start, resulting in their first-ever defeat in the Nations League. This marked the third instance in the current tournament season that they conceded the opening goal, extending their winless streak against North American sides to 14 matches in all competitions. Notably, they have lost their last two quarter-final encounters against North American opponents and have been without a win in their previous eight CONCACAF tournaments against the region since a 2-1 triumph versus Canada in the 2017 Gold Cup. Despite winning both Nations League matches this season when scoring in the opening half, the Reggae Boyz have conceded five of their seven goals within the first 45 minutes. Following their last two international defeats, they rebounded with victories and have not suffered consecutive losses against CONCACAF opponents since early 2022. Moreover, Jamaica has never won a match on Canadian soil, losing their last three encounters against the Canucks at BMO Field with a combined score of 9-1.
