USA 3, Jamaica 1
Christian Pulisic had two second-half goals as the United States beat Jamaica 3-1 in a Gold Cup semifinal match in Nashville, Tennessee, that was halted by a 90-minute weather delay.
The win secures the United States' second straight trip to the tournament final, in which it will defend its title against archrival Mexico on Sunday at Chicago's Soldier Field.
The home side got the perfect start after eight minutes when Weston McKennie stormed into the box to pick up a cut back from Reggie Cannon and sidefoot home from 6 yards out.
The teams were then withdrawn from the field at Nissan Stadium after 15 minutes due to lightning.
