Gawayne East, the striker for Israeli club Hapoel Be'er Sheva, scored two goals to lead Jamaica to a 2-0 victory over El Salvador in the CONCACAF Nations League. This win secured Jamaica the second position in their group.
Jamaica gained a numerical advantage in the 20th minute when Roddy Clavel received a direct red card for a tackle on East's shins. Six minutes before halftime, East capitalized on the opportunity, scoring from close range after a cross from the left wing. He added a second goal in the 64th minute with a powerful shot into the top corner from inside the box.
After a slow start to the campaign, during which he was substituted at halftime in one game and played only 28 minutes in another, East has found his form. It remains to be seen if he can translate this performance to his club, Hapoel Be'er Sheva.
In the same group, Suriname, which includes new Hapoel Tel Aviv defender Jannick L Weindl, drew 0-0 at home with Guatemala. Weindl had a good game, delivering nine crosses, but his team dropped its first points of the campaign.
