Jamaica's Reggae Girlz are trailing Canada 1-0 at half-time in their Concacaf Women’s Championships semi-final match in Monterrey, Mexico.

Jessie Flemming scored a header in the 18th minute for the Canadians who dominated possession the half.

Reggae Girlz goalkeeper Rebecca Spencer was superb for the Jamaicans as she made several excellent saves to keep out the Canadian attackers.

The Reggae Girlz, who started the match with the country’s top scorer Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw on the bench, had one shot on goal in the first half compared to their opponents' five.

The winners of tonight's match will face the United States in the final. The Americans blanked Costa Rica 3-0 in the first semi-final.
