MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica, (CMC) – Jamaica’s Reggae Boyz rebounded spectacularly from the dour stalemate in their opening game, to hammer Antigua and Barbuda 3-0 on Friday and move into joint top spot in Group B of the CFU Caribbean Cup.

Held by French side Martinique on Wednesday, the hosts made no mistake the second time around, as they easily dismissed the threat from Antigua at the Montego Bay Sports Complex on Friday.
At the same venue, Haiti also secured full points with a 3-0 win over Martinique as they too hit back after their opening draw with Antigua.
With all eyes focused on the Reggae Boyz, Kemar Lawrence and Darren Mattocks ensured the home fans were not disappointed as they put the hosts 2-0 up at half-time before Rudolph Austin added another goal in the second half.
Jamaica were ahead on the half-hour mark when Austin put a free kick into the box and Lawrence pivoted to beat goalkeeper Molvin James with a clinical finish.
Two minutes from half-time, Mattocks scored his second goal of the tournament after Dane Richards put in a low cross from the left.
After the break, Jamaica pressed for a third goal and it was only the brilliance of James in the uprights that kept Antigua from going further behind.
He saved a stinging volley from Jobi McAnuff in the 65th, rejected Simon Dawkins 11 minutes later before producing a brilliant point blank save to deny Richards in the 78th.
His luck finally ran out in the 88th, however, when Austin eluded his marker to nod home, with time expiring.
In the other game, Kervens Belfort netted a brace as Haiti turned on the pressure in the second half to easily get past their French counterparts.
Following a goal-less first half, Wilde-Donald Guerrier put the Haitians ahead in the 52nd before Belfort struck in the 63rd and 90th minutes to seal victory.
