Matthew Hoppe score his first international goal in the 83rd minute and New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Turner made 5 saves in a shutout as the United States advanced to the Gold Cup semifinals with a 1-0 win over Jamaica.
It was a nervy start for the USA as a turnover in the first minute nearly led to a shot on goal. Jamaica did well to cause turnovers, particularly in the first half, as the USMNT has been committed to play out of the back. But sloppy passing and a rotating midfield triangle combined with Jamaica’s pressure made things tough going in the early stages.
