2017 Gold Cup match recap: Jamaica 2, Canada 1

The Andre Blake show made a stop in Phoenix, as the goalkeeper’s highlight-reel saves led Jamaica past Canada by the score of 2-1. The Philadelphia Union goalkeeper was named the Man of the Match on the television broadcast for his game-changing performance.

There was offense too. In the sixth minute, Darren Mattocks would take an Andre Blake goal kick, beat his defender even though he had a handful of Mattocks’ jersey, and play a beautiful cross to Shawn Francis who hit it with pace off of the underside of the crossbar and in to give the Reggae Boyz the lead.
