USA wins Gold Cup 2017 on Jordan Morris strike

The only United States player that appeared in every Gold Cup match, Jordan Morris pounced on a his opportunity to cap his tournament off. His 88’ strike broke a 1-1 tie and gave the USMNT a sixth Gold Cup, as they beat Jamaica 2-1. Clint Dempsey assisted on the winner, his second of the tournament.

In the first half Morris, who started as a withdrawn forward and ended the game on the left wing, was at fault on Jamaica’s goal. He was also slowed with what looked like an ankle injury after a rough tackle.
