ARLINGTON (Texas): Matthew Hoppe scored his first international goal on a header in the 83rd minute and the United States beat Jamaica 1-0 Sunday night to reach the semi-finals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Hoppe, making his second international appearance, nodded home a cross from Cristian Roldan from just inside the six-yard box, and the US eliminated the 45th-ranked Reggae Boyz for the third straight Gold Cup.
The 20th-ranked US will face Qatar, an invited guest ahead of them hosting next year’s World Cup, on Thursday in Austin, Texas. It will be the 11th consecutive Gold Cup semi-final for the Americans, who last won in 2017 when they beat Jamaica in the final.

La selección de Canadá impuso sus condiciones este domingo, eliminó de la Copa Oro a una errática Costa Rica con un triunfo por 2-0, que premió su mejor fútbol y orden en el campo y se clasificó a las semifinales del torneo donde se citó con México.
Los goles de Junior Hoilett, en el minuto 18, y de Stephen Eustaquio en el 69, le dieron a Canadá una victoria inapelable ante una Costa Rica errática y sin ideas en la ofensiva que deja con mucho trabajo por delante al entrenador colombiano Luis Fernando Suárez, quien asumió el cargo a finales de junio pasado.

During the 68th minute, Hoilett had his back-heel touch in the box carom off the shins of two different Costa Rican defenders and land perfectly in front of Eustaquio, who buried a shot between keeper Esteban Alvarado s legs to double the margin.
