As a friendly reminder, Honduran, Costa Rican, and Mexican players will make sporadic appearances in the CONCACF Report but not in Hex Foes Abroad since the U.S. won't see them again in the Hex.

Jamaica
Wes Morgan, newly capped for the Reggae Boyz, got a win in his return to club football with Leicster City beating Wigan, 2-0.

Rodolph Austin went the full 90 and helped his Leeds team best countryman Jermaine Beckford's Bolton Wanderers at the Reebok Stadium. Beckford entered the 1-0 match in the 62nd minute.

Quick turnaround for Daniel Gordon who went the full 90 Friday for Karlsruher. He couldn't get a win with his club falling 1-0 to Paderborn.

Chris Humphrey started and made way after 72 minutes in a 3-0 Preston North End victory.

90 minutes, no goals for Theo Robinson for Doncaster Rovers in a 0-0 result against Huddersfield Town.

Panama
Roberto Chen was an unused substitute for Malaga in its 5-0 defeat of Rayo Vallecano.

Luis Henriquez was back in the center back slot for Lech Poznan who took a 2-0 loss at Slask Wroclaw.

Roman Torres had a quiet return to domestic action, playing all of a 0-0 Millonarios draw against Independiente.

Amilcar Henriquez wasn't able to get a point in his return, though he too played the full 90. Medellin lost to league leaders Atletico Nacional by a 2-0 mark.

Jairo Jimenez played for Panama in both its qualifiers but didn't get minutes when Elche Ilicitano returned to action with a 4-0 loss in the Spanish Segunda B.

FĂ©nix lost to Defensor Sporting, giving that club it's first victory this season in Uruguay's top divison. Forward Cecilio Waterman came on in the second half. Goalkeeper Luis Mejia was an unused substitute.
