Jamaica Looks to Extend Dominance Over Guatemala in Gold Cup Clash

History favors Jamaica once again. As confirmed by CONCACAF official website, the Reggae Boyz will face Guatemala this Monday in Group C of the 2025 Gold Cup at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California—a rematch loaded with precedent.

According to the official record, Jamaica has won all five previous Gold Cup meetings between the two sides, including a 1-0 quarterfinal win in 2023, sealed by a goal from Amari’i Bell. The most recent clash between them came in World Cup qualifying, where Jamaica cruised to a 3-0 victory, led by a Warner Brown brace.

Carson also hosted their most dramatic Gold Cup encounter: a thrilling 4-3 win for Jamaica in 2005, remembered for Carlos “Pescadito” Ruiz’s remarkable hat trick for Guatemala.

While Guatemala hasn’t beaten Jamaica since a 2-1 World Cup qualifying win in 2012, the all-time record between the two stands at 18 matches. Jamaica leads with 11 wins and 31 goals scored; Guatemala has three victories and 18 goals to its name. Monday’s fixture may add another chapter—but will it rewrite the narrative?
