Ricardo Pepi's early goal led the United States to a 1-0 win over Jamaica on a challenging pitch in Kingston during their CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal first leg on Friday. This victory marked a milestone achievement for new U.S. head coach Mauricio Pochettino handing a successful start in CONCACAF. Christian Pulisic's setup in the fifth minute, along with Matt Turner's crucial penalty save, paved the way for Pepi’s game-winning goal.
