BRADENTON, Fla.- El Salvador and Jamaica will look this Wednesday to take the next step to the quarterfinals of the Concacaf Under-17 Championship in a match where there is no tomorrow.

Jamaica qualified as third in Group E and although they showed offensive power, their defensive zone was one of their weaknesses. Meanwhile, the Salvadorians supported by their top goal scorer Saul Emerson (4 goals) will be a tough test for the Jamaicans.
