Cummings’ goal lifts Jamaica past El Salvador

Jul 12, 2009 Sports

Omar Cummings’ goal midway through the second half lifted previously winless Jamaica to a 1-0 victory over El Salvador in the final CONCACAF Gold Cup Group A match Friday night.
Cummings received Luton Shelton’s pass from the left wing and converted on a shot past goalkeeper Miguel Montes in the 69th minute.
The Jamaica victory clinched the group’s second-place spot for Costa Rica, which tied group winner Canada 2-2 earlier Friday. Canada and Costa Rica advanced to the quarterfinals, which begin July 18.
El Salvador and Jamaica each finished with 1-2 records and three points in group play.
El Salvador, which could have clinched the group’s second spot with a win, had three opportunities at tying the match. In the 84th minute, goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts deflected Rodolfo Zelaya’s point-blank header inside the 6-yard box.
Ricketts also stopped Zelaya’s open shot inside the penalty area during stoppage time.
With the fourth and final injury-time minute about to elapse, Montes left his goal area to attempt a free kick just outside the Jamaica penalty area. Montes’ shot hit the left goal post.
