Inter Miami U19 dethrone Jamaica All-Schools Team at 2023 CASA Youth Classic

Defending champions Jamaica AllSchools Team went down on penalties to Inter Miami FC Under-19 in the Caribbean Americas Soccer Association (CASA) Youth Classic 2023 final on Sunday at the Lauderhill Sports Park in Florida

Captain Romain Blake gave his Jamaican team a 1-0 lead courtesy of a first-half penalty, but the Jamaicans could not see the game through and allowed Felipe Valencia to slot home an equaliser three minutes from the end of regulation time

The Jamaica All-Schools Team spot kickers were clearly second best in the shoot-out from 12 yards as only Blake was able to beat goalkeeper Marcus Steinhouser to register on the scoreboard

Xavier Davidson had Jamaica's second spot kick saved by Steinhouser's leg, while Kevaughn Wilson slid his effort outside of the upright

In the All-Schools Team's first game on Thursday on the artificial surface, they played to a 2-2 result with Lauderhill Lions, despite wasting a penalty kick late on

J'havier Lynch had given the Jamaicans a tenth-minute lead after capitalising on a defensive error before dismissing a couple defenders on his way to slotting into the goal
