U.S. advances to Gold Cup semifinals despite strong Blake performance

Stop if you’ve heard this before: “Andre Blake single handedly kept his team in the match.”

The USMNT after a tough performance are moving to the Gold Cup semifinal after defeating Jamaica 1-0.

It was not the prettiest of matches for either side. It was a war of attrition for Gregg Berhalter’s side as they tried to slot one past Jamaica’s star man in net Andre Blake.

As he’s done over the past few years for club, Blake kept his side in the match to the best of his capabilities. There were multiple good opportunities for the US that would’ve gone past a lesser keeper.
