Pulisic leads USMNT past Jamaica into Nations League semis

Mauricio Pochettino's United States side rode a barnstorming first half to a 4-2 win over Jamaica on Monday in St. Louis, earning a spot in the Concacaf Nations League semifinals next year.

First-half goals from Christian Pulisic and Ricardo Pepi put the two-legged series out of reach for Jamaica, already trailing 1-0 from the first leg, as the U.S. completed an impressive 5-2 aggregate win

Timothy Weah was back in the U.S. lineup for the first time since being sent off with a straight red card at the Copa America, and he made his presence felt early with a shot that rattled the post and almost gave the home side an early lead.
