Reggae Boy striker Michail Antonio says he is eager for more goals, having opened his account in a draw against El Salvador last week.
The West Ham star, who was making just his second appearance for the Jamaica national team, after switching from England earlier this year, needed only seven minutes to get on the scoresheet against the Central Americans.
Picking up the ball midway the opposition half, Antonio charged into the area before executing a trademark dink over the El Salvador goalkeeper in the 82nd minute. The Jamaicans were forced to settle for a share of the points after El Salvador struck back in the 90th minute. Having opened his account, the player is looking for more and hoping to do so against the region’s biggest teams.
It’s always good to get off the mark quite early. So, you can release all the pressure off yourself and keep going and get more goals. Hopefully, now that I’ve got one, I can keep going and get more,” Antonio said.
“Right now, my performances are getting better. So, the only way I can show it is by doing it against the better teams, the USA’s and Canadas.”
Jamaica will play against the United States in a crucial encounter on Tuesday.
