Jamaica shocked the United States by scoring two first-half goals. And then they held on for dear life.
In a shocking upset in the CONCACAF Gold Cup semifinals Wednesday, the Jamaicans knocked the Americans out of the tournament, winning 2-1 to reach the Gold Cup final for the first time in the country's history.
Darren Mattocks and Giles Barnes were the goalscorers for Jamaica, while Michael Bradley notched the lone tally for the United States.
Despite controlling 60 percent of possession, outshooting Jamaica 20-10 (10-3 on goal) and earning 11 corners on the evening, the United States came up short.
