The US national team had to fight hard but they finally defeated Jamaica 1-0 with a late goal to seal their ticket to the Gold Cup 2021 semifinals. The hero of the night was Matthew Hoppe, who scored at 83th minute to give the US the victory.
The first half didn’t have many occasions for either team, as the game was played mostly on half court. However, Jamaica started to grow and had some chances to put Turner to the test. The US goalkeeper responded with great saves and the US started to create chances too.
In the second half, Berhalter moved the pieces with Roldán and Zardes entering in the pitch. However, it was Matthew Hoppe, who had some shots before, who finally could make the first with a header and help his team reach the semifinals. Here, check out the highlights and goal:
