The U.S. men's national team defeated Jamaica 1–0 in the first leg of its Concacaf Nations League quarterfinal in Mauricio Pochettino's first competitive game in charge.
Christian Pulisic dazzled in the opening minutes coming close to receive the ball in attack before playing a clinical through ball to Ricardo Pepi. The striker beat Andre Blake slotting the ball in off the far post. It was the perfect start from Pepi as the team needed a better performance after the October loss to Mexico.
