Jamaica looks to get their CONCACAF Gold Cup trek started on the right foot on Monday night when they go up against Guatemala. The Gold Cup has been a staple of the continental football landscape since 1991. While the U.S., Canada and Mexico have dominated the tournament, it has given smaller countries the opportunity to play at a high level.

The biennial CONCACAF continental championship sees Mexico defend their Gold Cup title at the 2025 tournament in the United States.

Oscar Santis scores in the 32nd minute and Guatemala, playing in front of a loud and supportive crowd, holds on for a 1-0 victory in Carson to move into a tie with Panama in Group C.
