The visitors took the lead in minute 32 through and own goal from Nicaragua’s Josué Quijano.

Juan Barrera came close to tying the match for Nicaragua in minute 27 with a potent left-footed shot from long distance, but his attempt was denied by Jamaica’s goalkeeper Andre Blake.

Jamaica extended its lead in the 69th minute through a finish from Romario Williams from close range following a corner kick.

In the 88th minute, two saves in quick succession from Blake prevented Nicaragua from equalizing. Blake subsequently closed out the match with six saves to secure a second clean sheet this Nations League campaign.

With the win, the Reggae Boyz maintain the lead in first place in Group B.
