Jamaica put in a brave performance in its Copa America Centenario opener but went down 1-0 to Venezuela on Sunday.
Josef Martinez proved the difference as Venezuela's Copa America Centenario got off to the best possible start with a 1-0 win over 10-man Jamaica at Soldier Field in Chicago.
A first-half red card for Jamaican midfielder Rodolph Austin made life hard for the Jamaicans after going 1-0 down to Martinez's 15th minute strike.
However, despite a brave effort in the second period, Jamaica was unable to avoid defeat in the first Group C fixture on Sunday.
