The USA would keep the pressure going and Curacao just did not have an answer

The USA would lead 1-0 at Halftime

The USMNT would keep the pressure on Curacao to add to the lead but they gave a couple of chances for Curacao an opportunity to stay in the game

This was a strange game for the USMNT as they looked like they had chances to finish off Curacao and just could not.

The USMNT will now take on Jamaica in the Semifinals in Nashville on July 3
