Antonio strike frustrates US in Jamaica draw

block

West Ham striker Michail Antonio scored a spectacular equaliser as Jamaica frustrated the United States to earn a 1-1 draw in CONCACAF 2022 World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday. Antonio’s 22nd-minute long-range effort cancelled out a superb individual goal by US forward Timothy Weah at Kingston’s Independence Park.
The US arrived in Jamaica on a high after a 2-0 win over Mexico on Friday in the eight-team final phase of qualifiers for teams from Central America, North America and the Caribbean. But US coach Gregg Berhalter’s team were unable to back up that victory with three more points in Kingston after a hard-fought, physical game.
