It's been gritty!
If you're just joining us, it could be argued that you missed a small war. While the game was not full of highlight moments, it was in fact a display of grit and discipline as both teams played a very physical match in the humidity of the Kingston night.
The USA will of course all but assure themselves qualification with this result while Jamaica have improved their chances with the point, but they will know there is work to be done. In the end the the match ended 1-1 courtesy of a tidy Timothy Weah goal in the 11th minute followed by a fantastic strike from Jamaica's Michail Antonio who saw his rocket from distance fly past Steffen in the American goal.
