Reggae Boyz head coach Theodore Whitmore

Jamaica head coach Theodore Whitmore says the team deserves to be in the semi-finals of the Concacaf Gold Cup after edging Panama 1-0 in today’s quarterfinal encounter at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field.

Substitute Darren Mattocks scored from the penalty spot in the 75th minute which proved to be the winner in the end.

Speaking at the post-game press conference afterwards, Whitmore said they deserve to go through to their third straight Gold Cup semi-finals.

Jamaica, a finalist at the last two Gold Cup editions, will play host nation and defending champions the United States of America on July 3, in the Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee.

The winner will meet either Mexico or Haiti in the July 7 final in Chicago.
