Goalkeeper

Zack Steffen- 5

Started the game poorly with a bad touch to concede a corner kick. Went on to make a couple of decent stops and couldn’t do much with the goal he conceded.

Defense

Sergiño Dest- 8

Scored a brilliant goal in the first half. Looked very comfortable at left-back, which is where his future looks to be with the USMNT.

John Brooks- 7

Very good performance. Was dominant in the air and was calm with the ball at his feet.

Aaron Long- 6

Solid performance, but not anything special from his 45 minutes on the pitch.

Reggie Cannon- 5

Not his best display. Got booked and defended too loosely on Jamaica’s goal. Still, I like his future with the USMNT.

Midfield

Sebastian Lletget- 7

Quietly had another impressive performance. Scored two goals late to secure the win. If nothing else, he’s a player that can be plugged in at multiple positions and will be good depth for the USMNT.

Kellyn Acosta- 6

No bad giveaways. No outstanding moments. Solid outing.

Yunus Musah- 6

Not quite as effective as previous performances, but still had a decent showing. Certainly seems to have a future in the first team sooner rather than later.

Forwards

Christian Pulisic- 5

Played the opening 45 minutes and disappointed. Found himself in some good moments, but was very sloppy overall.

Josh Sargent- 7

Didn’t score, but certainly impressed. Provided the assist on the second goal. Put himself in great spots.

Gio Reyna- 7

Similar to Pulisic, he found himself in some good positions and didn’t make the most of them.

Substitutes

Brenden Aaronson- 7

Talk about an immediate impact sub. Should have been awarded an assist, but Gio Reyna couldn’t convert his chance. Seconds later, he found him a goal after combining with Josh Sargent.

Chris Richards- 5

Couldn’t make up his mind on the Jamaica goal. Big mistakes like that can cost you games.

Antonee Robinson- 5

Didn’t get back quick enough, opened up a bigger chance that Jamaica capitalized on.

Nicholas Gioacchini- 7

Another good showing. Didn’t show on the scoresheet, but had a good display.

Luca De La Torre- 7

Had the assist on Lletget’s goal in the 90th minute.

Jordan Siebatcheu- 6

Didn’t have much to do in the final eight minutes.
