Jamaica hunkered down and played Mexico, the Group C favorites, to a scoreless draw in the Gold Cup Thursday night in Denver. The result gave each team a point in the standings, with both at four through two games to lead the group.
El Tri outshot the Reggae Boyz 14-5 and dominated in possession, but couldn't put a ball past Philadelphia Union goalkeeper Andre Blake.
Erick "Cubo" Torres of the Houston Dynamo, making the start as Mexico's lone striker, had a header hit the post in the 23rd minute. Mexico were on the attack more often throughout, while Jamaica appeared to be playing back and waiting for counter opportunities, few which materialized.
