The teething pains continued for Jamaica's Reggae Boyz as they lost a fifth friendly international in a row after going down 2-1 to Honduras in Tegulcigalpa last night.

Roberto Martinez guaranteed the hosts impressive home form against the Jamaicans continued as he netted early in the second half. Martinez, however, had a huge slice of luck as he beat the outstanding Jamaican custodian Dwayne Miller in goal via a deflection, but perhaps deserved it after challenging the Jamaican defence with a brave dribble out of midfield.

Honduras had perhaps caught the visitors napping as Jerry Bengtson scored within a minute of the opening whistle.

The Boyz, however, did manage to pull themselves level as the first half wound down, via a well taken free kick from midfielder Demar Phillips.

Phillips put the ball into the back of the net on the stroke of half-time, a curling left-footed beauty from right on the edge of the 18-yard area, when striker Omar Cummings was brought down after displaying a cheeky bit of skill to split a pair of defenders. Honduras could have added to the scoreline were it not for the heroics of Miller who thwarted the Hondurans with a few well-timed saved. Overseas-based player Marcus Bean had the best chance of the second half for the Jamaicans forcing a save from Honduran custodian Donis Escobar with a point-blank header.
