Arsenal's Matt Turner reinforced his importance to the USMNT with a pivotal save against Jamaica to deny Aston Villa's Leon Bailey from the spot.
The former New England Revolution goalkeeper has found game time hard to come by in North London after finding his route to a starting berth blocked by Aaron Ramsdale but he is a crucial performer for his national team. Ultimately, the USMNT would be held to a 1-1 stalemate by the Reggae Boyz but the 29-year-old stopper got down low to keep out the ex-Bayer Leverkusen forward's penalty in the 29th minute.
If Bailey would have found the back of the net, he would have doubled Jamaica's lead and sent his team on course to inflicting the USA's second ever group stage loss in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. However, the outstanding stop was able to help swing the balance of the game back in favour of the USMNT, with Brandon Vasquez eventually equalizing.
