This Gold Cup isn’t short on drama.
A day after Haiti stunned Costa Rica to win Group B, it was Curacao’s turn to up the ante.
Needing a point to stay alive for a knockout round berth, Jurien Gaari ripped a stoppage time rocket into the back of the goal to defy Andre Blake and Jamaica a win and the Group C crown (at least for a couple of hours).

Shamar Nicholson had given the Reggae Boyz a 14th minute lead, but Jamaica couldn’t find a second goal.
If Honduras beats El Salvador in the business end of the doubleheader in Los Angeles, Curacao will finish second in the group and advance to face either the USMNT or Panama.
If El Salvador manages a draw or win, well, at least Curacao will have this wonder from RKC Waalwijk’s right back:
