NASHVILLE – The CONCACAF Gold Cup semifinal between the United States and Jamaica has resumed after a weather delay of 1 hour, 28 minutes.

A band of lightning in the area caused the delay with the U.S. leading 1-0 in the 16th minute.

Weston McKennie scored for the second straight game, on an assist from Jozy Altidore, to give the U.S. the lead in the ninth minute. McKennie had scored in the 1-0 quarterfinal victory over Curacao on Sunday.
