Jamaica's Reggae Boyz earned a precious point when they held hosts Mexico to a 0-0 draw in their CONCACAF 2014 World Cup qualifying match at the Azteca Stadium on Wednesday.
It was Jamaica's first World Cup qualifying point at the feared football venue in Mexico City.
Goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts, midfielders Marvin Elliott and Jobi McAnuff, and defenders Nyron Nosworthy and Demar Phillips were among the outstanding players for the Theodore Whitmore-coached Boyz.
After the opening matches, Honduras lead the six-team CONCACAF final round of qualifying with three points following a 2-1 win over the United States. Panama and Costa Rica, who played to a 2-2 draw, are next, followed by Jamaica and Mexico, all on a point each. The United States are on zero.
