WASHINGTON (AP) -- Jamaica dealt the U.S. just its second home defeat to a Caribbean nation in a half-century, beating the Americans 1-0 in an exhibition on Wednesday night that made coach Gregg Berhalter's new-look team appear far from prepared for the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Shamar Nicholson took advantage of a giveaway by Christian Roldan to score from outside the penalty area in the 60th minute.
Without midfielders Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie and Tyler Adams, the U.S. failed to generate much offense, and striker Josh Sargent squandered what chances he did have, including a point-blank shot that went wide in the 71st.
