It was the worst possible start to the CONCACAF Men's U20 Championship campaign for the U20 Reggae Boyz as they were trounced 9-nil by the United States last night.

The Americans wasted little time in their demolition, scoring their first goal within two minutes of the game's start before hitting four past the Boyz in the opening 20 minutes.

The Boyz went into half time five goals down and had little response in the second half as USA scored their sixth only nine minutes after the restart.

USA scored their ninth and final goal of the night in added time, completing their rout.

Jamaica's next assignment is against Costa Rica on Monday.

Costa Rica drew 1-1 with Cuba in their opening match last night.
