It's getting real for Mauricio Pochettino and the United States men's national team as they'll play their first competitive games under their new manager during this international window with a trip to Jamaica on Thursday in the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals.

Ricardo Pepi scored from Christian Pulisic’s pass in the fifth minute, Matt Turner saved a penalty kick and the United States won 1-0 at Jamaica in a CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal first leg, the Americans’ first competitive match under coach Mauricio Pochettino.

On a horribly maintained pitch in Kingston, the USMNT bagged an ugly 1-0 victory over Jamaica on Ricardo Pepi's early goal to establish a 1-0 lead in the first leg of their CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal matchup.
