Caballero clinched Honduras' victory with his goal in the 86th minute. Jairo Martinez fed Caballero with a centering pass, which Caballero headed in past Barrett.

Honduras and Colombia play for quarterfinal seeding position in another first-round match Wednesday night.

Jamaica, a 1998 World Cup qualifier, failed to score in its two Gold Cup matches, which also included a 1-0 loss to Colombia last Saturday night.
