The USMNT secured a 4–2 victory over Jamaica in the second leg of the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals, but Mauricio Pochettino was unimpressed with the team's intensity and mentality in the second half.
The U.S. men's national team took an early and dominant 3–0 lead over Jamaica at CITYPARK. A half-volley from Christian Pulisic, an own goal from Jamaica's Di'Shon Bernard and a Ricardo Pepi strike gave the hosts a three-goal cushion heading into halftime.
The Stars and Stripes took their foot off the gas in the second half, allowing Demarai Gray to find the back of the net twice in 15 minutes. Tim Weah scored an insurance goal for the USMNT, though, sending the hosts through to the Concacaf Nations League semifinals.
Although the USMNT's victory never truly looked in doubt, Pochettino spoke with the media about the team's lack of consistency across the full 90 minutes.
