Gold Cup: Bailey and Jamaica in semi-finals
Leon Bailey and Jamaica are in the semi-finals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. The Reggae Boyz beat Panama 1-0 in the quarter-finals overnight. Jamaica now take on the USA for a place in the final.
Darren Mattocks came off the bench to score the only goal of the game from the penalty spot on 75 minutes at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Leon Bailey, who missed the last group match against Curaçao (1-1) due to a foot problem, played the full 90 minutes on the left wing for the Black, Green and Yellows.
This will be the fourth semi-final appearance in succession for the Reggae Boyz. In a repeat of the 2017 final (1-2), Jamaica face the USA team on Thursday (4 June, 03.00 CET) after they beat Curaçao 1-0 in their quarter-final match.

Werkself review #B04VfB: Honest words and looking ahead
It was a disappointing Saturday night. The Werkself lost 4-1 to VfB Stuttgart to start the new year on Bundesliga matchday 16 in 2025/26, a result that left both players and fans disappointed. "We played without any passion," said Alejandro Grimaldo honestly afterwards. Teammate Jarell Quansah was even more self-critical, emphasising: "We were miles off it in the first half. You can't put in a performance like that, especially in front of our own fans and I can only apologise to them, to be honest."
