Jamaica's unexpected run to the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup Final ended with a comprehensive defeat to Mexico, losing 3-1 on Sunday night at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
But the Reggae Boyz should take pride from what was a strong overall performance in the tournament.
Drawn into Group B with regional power Costa Rica, Jamaica defied expectations by topping the table and advancing as group winners. Following a narrow victory over Haiti in the quarterfinals, Winfried Schafer's side caused the shock of the tournament by beating the United States 2-1 in the semifinals.
While casual onlookers might have been stunned, those who followed the Reggae Boyz throughout the summer were hardly surprised.
