  WHAT HAPPENED?

  A corner kick in the 96th minute, after five-minutes of stoppage-time were issued, saw Miles Robinson flick the ball on, only for Jamaica's Corey Burke to deflect it into his own net. The forward had no idea the ball was coming, with the fluke goal bringing the USMNT level.

  The goal sent the match to extra-time, where the USA took advantage of the momentum, netting two more times to claim victory.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  It was nearly a disaster for Gregg Berhalter's squad, who played a disastrous 95 minutes of soccer. It was a shambolic performance across the regulation period, and the last-ditch effort saved their hopes of making it to the CONCACAF Nations League finals.

  With a bit of luck, and some perseverance, they scored with what was the final touch of the regulation period to send the match to extra-time.

  Then, super-subs Gio Reyna and Haji Wright found their footing, with the Nottingham Forest midfielder assisting the Coventry City forward on two different occasions for a 3-1 victory across 120 minutes.
