Canada 1 - 0 Jamaica
Ali Gerba (74)
CARSON, Calif. (AP) — Ali Gerba scored in the 75th minute to give Canada a 1-0 victory over Jamaica in the opening game of the Gold Cup on Friday night.
Gerba volleyed Mike Klukowski’s left-wing cross inside the left post from 7 yards while being marked tightly by Jamaican defender Claude Davis.
Goalkeeper Greg Sutton kept Jamaica scoreless with two saves in a 10-minute span. In the 54th minute, Sutton dived to his right to stop Damion Stewart’s 13-yard line drive.
Then in the 64th minute, Sutton blocked Ricardo Fuller’s 14-yard shot off a breakaway. Sutton, released recently by Toronto FC of MLS, finished with four saves.
