Jamaica's Usain Bolt was, on Sunday, named male World Athlete of the Year at the World Athletics Gala. He beat out Etheopia's Kenenisa Bekele and Cuba's Dayron Robles for the coveted award. Bolt's performance at the Beijing Olympics, where he captured three sprint gold medals, catapulted him to an iconic status as he became the first man to do so since Carl Lewis in 1984 and the first to break three world records at any one meet. He captured the 100m (9.69), 200m (19.30) and ran the third leg for Jamaica's 4x100m team (37.10).

Apart from needing the win, the Reggae Boyz were depending on a Mexican victory over Honduras in San Pedro Sula to guarantee their progression. However, Honduras came away 1-0 winners in that game leaving Jamaica with the almost impossible task of scoring six goals against Canada.
But it might have been. The first scoring chance in the game went to Ricardo Fuller who climbed high in the box to get a powerful header on target. The Canadian keeper was up to the task and came up with the good save.
