Just one game stands in the way between our No.14 reaching this summer’s World Cup, having beat New Caledonia early on Friday morning thanks to a goal from Bailey Cadamarteri on 18 minutes.

The win at Estadio Akron means the Reggae Boyz progress to the final play-off stage, where they will meet DR Congo for that final spot in Group K.

Also featuring in their first play-off game was Wales, who took on Bosnia & Herzegovina at Cardiff City Stadium.

James started and played just under an hour in the fixture, which Cymru were leading thanks to a wonder strike from Daniel James early on in the second half.

One game stands in the way of Jamaica and a spot in the World Cup.

The travelling side did retaliate, and equalised late on, when Edin Džeko headed home from a corner, taking the game to extra-time, and then penalties.

Neco Williams’ missed spot-kick was the turning point, allowing Kerim Alajbegovic the chance to send Bosnia through to Tuesday’s final against Italy.

Choudhury was also in action on Thursday afternoon, playing a full 90 minutes for Bangladesh, who lost 3-0 to Vietnam in an international friendly.

The City midfielder has the chance to feature once again on Tuesday afternoon (1pm GMT kick-off), when Bangladesh face Singapore in their final Asian Cup qualification group stage match, with qualification already out of reach in Group C.
