SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The U.S. prevailed over Jamaica 2-1 to claim the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
U.S. forward Jozy Altidore opened the scoring just before half-time with a superbly taken free kick, only for Je-Vaughn Watson to equalize in the 50th minute, volleying home Kemar Lawrence's corner at the far post. But Jordan Morris fired home an 88th minute winner to give the U.S. the victory.
Here are three thoughts on the U.S. win, their sixth Gold Cup title.
1. Redemption for Morris and Altidore
Wednesday night's first half was tough and physical.
