Popular Sheffield Wednesday man celebrates historic win after chaotic tie ends in whirlwind comeback

The tie served as the Conmebol Nations League quarter-final, but also secured Jamaica qualification for the 2024 Copa America, with the Reggae Boyz securing only their third qualification for the tournament in the nation's history.

Theirs was a remarkable qualification, with the first leg in Kingston over the weekend delayed due to a rampant storm that waterlogged the pitch. A sell-out crowd was depleted when the match was rearranged for a 10.30am kick-off the following day partly due to Canada's travel commitments. Bernard started as the visitors won 2-1.

It left Bernard's side a huge uphill battle to climb heading into last night's return leg in Toronto - the Owls man was named on the bench - facing near-freezing temperatures and the fact they had never won a game in Canada. When Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies earned the hosts a half-time lead, it looked an increasingly tall task.

But Shamar Nicholson's double and a white-knuckle winner from Fulham man Bobby Decordova-Reid cancelled out Ismael Kone's on-the-night equaliser in what was a night of chaos, with Jamaica taking the tie on the basis of the away goal rule.

It was only Jamaica's third-ever win over North American opposition on North American soil. Bernard and his teammates will look forward to taking on USA in the semi-finals of the Nations League.
