Jamaica and the United States are locked a 0-0 at half-time in their World Cup qualifying match at the Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas on Thursday evening.

However, there were moments in the first half where Jamaica could have been reduced to 10 players.

Twenty seconds into the game, Kemar Lawrence was only given a yellow card when he pulled down Paul Arriola when he was seemingly through on goal.

Defender Damion Lowe was also shown a yellow card for a last ditch challenge on Brenden Aaronson in the 34th minute when he was also through on goal.

Jamaica's best goal scoring opportunity game five minutes from the break when Jamal Lowe's curling shot was saved by Matt Turner.

The United States had three shots in the half although none were on target, while Jamaica have also had three shots with one on target.
