Everton's Demarai Gray plays key role as Jamaica advance to Concacaf Gold Cup semi-finals

Everton’s Demarai Gray continued a strong debut tournament run with Jamaica as he set up the winning goal for Amari’i Bell in their 1-0 victory over Guatemala to advance the Reggae Boyz to the semi-finals of the Concacaf Gold Cup.

Birmingham-born Gray switched his international allegiance from England earlier this summer and now has two goals and two assists in four appearances after the quarter-final triumph at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Sunday evening.

After a goalless first half, Gray pulled the strings in the 54th minute to help Jamaica earn the breakthrough goal. His through ball pass into the Guatemalan box allowed Bell to pick up possession before drilling a low shot into the back of the net for his first international goal.
