Jamaica drew 1-1 with El Salvador in their World Cup qualifying game tonight at the Estadio Cuscatlán in San Salvador.

Michail Antonio gave the Reggae Boyz the lead in the 82nd minute with his first international goal, however, an Alex Roldan header in the 90th minute spoiled Jamaica's hopes of back-to-back wins in final round World Cup qualifying.

Jamaica remains in sixth place in the eight team final round with sixth points from seven games, five points off fourth place Panama who came from behind to beat Honduras 3-2 earlier tonight.

Jamaica will face the United States at the National Stadium on Tuesday.
