Dunstan Cohen of Vere United was on the scoresheet for Jamaica’s Under 18 footballers, but they lost their opening match against Saudi Arabia 2-1 at the UEFA Friendship Tournament in Turkey on Monday.

Cohen hit the target in the 80th minute after the Saudis had rushed into a half time 2-0 lead.

The young Reggae Boyz also squandered a chance to level the game, missing a penalty in the final minute of play.

The team had a training session today and have turned their attention to their second game against host Turkey on Wednesday.
