Despite dominating possession and restricting Jamaica to no true shots on goal, the United States was forced to sweat a bit before winning 1-0 on a cold night in Chattanooga. Seattle Sounders striker Jordan Morris scored the game’s only goal, but it could be argued that good performances from Benny Feilhaber, Jorge Villafaña, and USMNT debutant Walker Zimmerman were the bigger takeaways.
The USMNT established an intent to press high up the field from kickoff, forcing Jamaica to defend deep and nearly picking off a few nervy passes from the Reggae Boyz in the opening minutes.
