Jamaica’s senior Reggae Boyz produced a substandard performance on their return home as they were held to a 1-1 scoreline by Antigua & Barbuda in their International Friendly contest at Sabina Park on Sunday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

It was by no means a polished performance from the Boyz who were playing their first game at home since 2016, as they failed to make the most of their dominant possession.<\/p>\n

They went in front, courtesy of Dane Kelly’s 48th-minute strike, but later surrendered the lead in stoppage when substitute Peter Byers expertly headed home from close range in the 90+3 minutes.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The contest was used as preparation for both teams ahead of the CONCACAF Nations’ League Qualifiers in September.<\/p>
