    The United States men’s national team advances to the semi-finals of the CONCACAF Nations League after beating Jamaica 4-2 on Monday.

    Monday’s meeting was the second of a two-legged match. The United States won the first leg 1-0, meaning it won the quarterfinals 5-2.

    The USMNT got off to a fast start thanks to star Christian Pulisic, who scored in the 13th and 33rd minutes to make it an early 2-0 lead.

    After Jamaica’s Demarai Gray scored early in the second half, Tim Weah gave the United States some certainty with a goal in the 55th minute.

    Gray scored another goal in the 68th minute to make it 4–2, but Jamaica didn’t have enough to make the comeback.

    After the win, fans had high praise for Pulisic, Pepi and the USMNT for advancing to the semi-finals.

    Thanks to Christian Pulisic’s 34th and 35th international goals, he has officially succeeded @EricWynalda to climb to 4th place #USMNT‘s all-time scoring lists…
    He now trails only Landon Donovan (57), Clint Dempsey (57) and Jozy Altidore (42).

    I haven’t had this much fun watching the USMNT since the 2016 Copa America.

    That’s three games in a row with a goal for Ricardo Pepi under Pochettino.
    PSV will have to make a decision soon, don’t think you can keep him off the field for long. Play it or sell it.     #USMNT

    What a beautiful passage of play followed by a fantastic finish by Ricardo Pepi 🇺🇸
    I don’t recognize this USMNT. This is what we have been crying out for for six years. Verve, fluidity, dynamism and deadly instincts.
    It’s really beautiful.

    Ricardo Pepi is a starter. 🚂

    Every day Pepi scores a goal is a good day.

    With Monday’s victory, the United States has now secured a ticket for the semi-finals of the Nations League, which will take place in March. The USMNT also advanced to the Gold Cup in June.

    As the march towards the 2026 World Cup continues, new coach Mauricio Pochettino is building momentum. After a handful of friendly matches earlier this fall, he finally got the chance to coach a competitive match for the first time against Jamaica last week. He now has some solid performances to look back on and will look to continue winning in the future.
