WASHINGTON: Two goals from Jordan Morris helped a revamped United States hold off Martinique 3-2 on Wednesday (Thursday in Manila) in the CONCACAF Gold Cup in Tampa, Florida. The United States doubled their lead in the 64th as Eric Lichaj’s cross from the right found Morris. But Martinique, trying to build on their opening win over Nicaragua, pulled level in little more than 10 minutes. Just a minute later, however, Morris ran onto a cross from Gyasi Zardes and fired a shot past Olimpa. Five-time winners of the regional championship for North and Central America and the Caribbean, the United States are atop Group B with four points.
