In the second half, the Reggae Boyz came into the game better and took a 75th-minute penalty from Darren Mattocks. In the end, Jamaica brought this 1: 0 over time.

USA – Statistics & Current Form
As host and defending champion, the USA naturally went into the Gold Cup 2019 with high expectations. After only one draw from the last three preparatory matches, doubts about the strength of the Soccer Boys grew in the United States.
