Last week, 7News told you about the Belize U-15 National Football Team, or the Junior Jaguars, who left to participate in the first ever CONCACAF Under 15 Championships. In their first game, they defeated St. Lucia, and on Friday, the team faced off against Jamaica.
In that game, the Junior Jaguars managed to defeat Jamaica with a final score of 3-1, the first loss of the tournament for Jamaica, who won their first 2 games and didn't give up any goals. The goal scorers for Belize were Mark Samuels, Alvin Sifontes, and Randy Augustine, who managed to score in the 5th and 7th minute respectively, securing an early and comfortable lead for team Belize.
That's the actual outcome of the game, but it would seem that Jamaican Football Federation got it wrong, causing outrage to Belizeans who saw this weekend. They posted on their website that they soundly defeated Belize with a score of 8-0. It would seem that they got a notification that their information was wrong because when we checked today, they had updated their website with the correct information.
The Junior Jaguars played their third game yesterday against Guatemala, and regrettably, they lost with a score of 0 -1. Being the undefeated in Group B, Guatemala is poised to advance to the next round, since only the best team from each group moves on. They only have to draw their next match against Jamaica to make it to the semi-finals.
Team Belize gets ready to compete against Grenada tomorrow evening, their final match of the first round.
