COPA AMERICA: Paraguay beat Jamaica 1-0

The Reggae Boyz suffered another loss in the 2015  Copa America in Chile today.
   A 35th minute goal by Edgar Benitez handed Paraguay a 1-0 win.
  Jamaica are now without a point after two games in Group B of the tournament.
        The Boyz entered the game on a high after a good performance in a 1-0 loss to defending champions Uruguay last Saturday. However, they failed to consistently trouble the Paraguay backline today.
   A massive blunder by goalkeeper Duwayne Kerr gifted Paraguay their winner. He attempted to clear a long ball into the Jamaica area but only succeeded in heading onto Benitez. The ball hit the Paraguay player and rebounded into the Jamaican net.
