USMNT player ratings vs Jamaica: Ricardo Pepi goes on offensive, Matt Turner gets defensive as USMNT fight for feisty road win
Ricardo Pepi shines in attack
Ricardo Pepi, the 19-year-old striker, has been a bright spot for the United States men's national team in recent months and Saturday's win over Jamaica was no different.
Pepi scored the game's opening goal in the 49th minute showcasing his knack for finding the back of the net.
Aside from goal, the FC Dallas forward was a handful for a Jamaican defense that struggled to keep up with his pace and industry on the field.
Matt Turner makes big saves
The third and final goal for the United States came off the boot of Daryl Dike in the 83rd minute.
Turner made several key saves to keep Jamaica off the board, including a diving stop on a point-blank shot from Junior Flemmings in the 65th minute and a fingertip save over the crossbar on a free kick from Ravel Morrison in the 78th minute.
Turner's heroics helped the United States secure a much-needed win and his performance was a reminder of why he is one of the top goalkeepers in Major League Soccer.
