Soccer Three Jamaica players who can hurt Nigeria in the Unity Cup final

1. Clarke Courtney

The 23-year-old didn’t have the best season with Sky Bet League Two side Walsall, but was a constant thorn in the flesh of the Indian defenders last night.

Courtney scored a brilliant curler, sending the ball into the top corner, beyond Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, and the Super Eagles have to be wary of the threat posed by the Jamaican.

2. Kaheim Dixon

The Charlton Athletic winger scored the second goal for Jamaica against India, but the process involved was just as brilliant.

Dixon showed quick feet to beat three defenders before squaring the ball beyond the goalkeeper to help the Reggae Boyz seal a final spot against the Super Eagles.

3. Bailey Cadamarteri

The AFC Wrexham striker didn’t find the back of the net against India, but his hold up play was just as important for Jamaica. He constantly troubled the centre-backs.

To reduce his impact, Igoh Ogbu and Chibuike Nwaiwu would have to be at the top of their game.
