(Bermuda win 2-0 on aggregate) KINGSTON, Jamaica -- Raynel Lightbourne and substitute Kevin Jennings struck in the second half to give Bermuda's Under-23 team a stunning victory over Canada in the second leg of the Pan American Games qualifying tie last night.

Now, while the Canadians will depart Jamaica today, the Bermuda squad will remain in the country to prepare for two more qualifying matches against either Jamaica or Trinidad and Tobago, the first to be held tomorrow night at the National Stadium in Kingston.

Last night's match looked headed for another stalemate when Bermuda and Canada remained deadlocked at the half. However, a stroke of bad luck for the Canadians worked in Bermuda's favour in the 53rd minute.

Canada had a player sent off and seconds later from the free kick Bermuda took the lead when Lightbourne collected a pass from Nakia Smith and blasted a left-footed shot into the top corner, past the stranded goalkeeper.

Smith was the only change to the Bermuda team from Friday's 0-0 draw in the first leg, coming in to replace Jennings in midfield in what coach Mark Trott said was a tactical move to lift Jennings' game.

It obviously worked as he scored the team's second goal to put the match out of the reach of the Canadians.

The midfielder made his entry into the game in the 63rd minute when he came on for Quincy Aberdeen who faded after a promising first half.

And Jennings showed the promise that Trott talked about when he scored Bermuda's second goal in the 76th minute after he moved in on a defensive error by intercepting a pass and then tucking the ball to the right of 'keeper Caldwell.

"Kevin hasn't been in it so we had to find a way to motivate him, get him going and the only way to get him motivated was to bench him,'' said Bermuda coach Mark Trott after the victory. "He has a lot of ability and can be a match winner for us at any time but he's not been producing the goods so we had to bench him and you saw what happened, he produced the goods.'' Bermuda's other substitution was Tokia Russell, a late call to the squad in Jamaica, coming on for the limping Nakia Smith.

Canada suffered another blow in the closing minutes when coach Bob Lenarduzzi was ejected from the bench for making a gesture at the referee and failing to return to the bench when instructed to do so by the referee.

Afterwards, though, he was sporting in defeat, saying the better team had won.

"No doubt Bermuda was the better team over the two games and deserved to go through to the next round,'' said Lenarduzzi.

"Obviously being down to 10 men doesn't help and they scored immediately after the sending off. However, after the (first) goal we seemed to get back in it but there is no question Bermuda deserved to win.

"It wasn't until we went down to 10 men that we started to play. It was unfortunate it had to come to that.'' Bermuda got plenty of support from the Jamaican crowd right from the outset but still they could not find the net, hitting the upright twice through Ottis Steede in the opening half which they dominated.

"We should be two or three goals ahead,'' said Technical Director Burkhard Ziese at the half.

The support given Bermuda will likely not be there in the next two matches on Tuesday and Thursday which are expected to be against Jamaica.

In their first match against Trinidad and Tobago on Friday night Jamaica lost 4-2 after leading 2-0 at one stage.

Last night the teams were tied at 1-1 at the half, with the losers of the two-leg match meeting Bermuda to decide who goes to the Pan Am Games in Argentina in March. The winners qualify automatically for the Games.
