This game would be scoreless at halftime.

Early in the second half, it would be some of what you saw in the first half but the USA would get more pressure on the goalie but could not put it home.

Jamaica would make the USA Pay as they would open the scoring on a laser of a shot by Shamar Nicholson in the 60th minute for the 1-0 lead.
