Despite leaving Independence Park with the victory, the USMNT failed to impress against Jamaica in the first leg of the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals.
After failing to score against Mexico in its previous outing, the U.S. men's national team got off to a fast start in Mauricio Pochettino's competitive debut. Christian Pulisic and Ricardo Pepi linked up to find the Stars and Stripes' opening goal inside of five minutes. In the next 85 minutes, the USMNT managed just two shots on target that did not find the back of the net.
