The United States men’s national team couldn’t build off its win over Mexico, managing only a 1-1 draw against Jamaica in Tuesday’s World Cup qualifier.

Timothy Weah gave the Americans an early lead in Kingston, Jamaica, but Michail Antonio responded with the equalizer a few minutes later for the home team.

Chances were limited for both teams beyond that with just four combined shots on goal across the 90 minutes.

Jamaica appeared to score the winning goal in the 84th minute on a corner kick, although the referee called it back for a foul. 

The Americans were without midfielder Weston McKennie and defender Miles Robinson due to suspensions, while Christian Pulisic was only a substitute as he works his way back from an ankle injury. The short-handed squad was unable to muster much offense as the team settled for the tie.

The United States now has 15 points through eight matches, which could be enough for first place in the CONCACAF table depending on Canada’s match against Mexico.

The squad also only has one win and two draws through four road matches this qualifying cycle, continuing the same struggles from four years ago away from home.
