Defending champions Jamaica have secured their spot in the semi-finals of the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Under-14 Boys Tier 1 Challenge Series. The young Reggae Boyz defeated Curacao 2-0 on Wednesday in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, completing a flawless run through Group C.

Jamaica's victory over Curacao followed earlier wins against St Kitts/Nevis (4-0) and Aruba (1-0). The team's performance in the group stage demonstrates their strong form as they aim to retain their title.

Jaheem Brown opened the scoring for Jamaica in the 28th minute with a precise left-footed shot from the edge of the 18-yard box, assisted by Basil Trail. The lead was extended in the 67th minute by Tai-Sean Headley, who volleyed home from close range after a skillful play by midfielder Makiri D’Aguilar. D’Aguilar's individual brilliance involved dribbling past several defenders after taking a short corner.

The semi-finals are scheduled for Friday, with Jamaica's next opponent to be determined after the conclusion of all group matches. Thursday will serve as a rest day for the teams.
