Romario Williams, however, finally broke through for the Reggae Boyz in the 59th minute -- firing his shot into the top left corner of the net from a Je-Vaughn Watson assist.
Darren Mattocks doubled Jamaica's advantage 15 minutes later, expertly controlling Kemar Lawrence's cross before firing a powerful left-foot drive past Curacao's despairing keeper.
