Michail Antonio helped Jamaica to a 1-1 draw against the United States of America in their CONCACAF Gold Cup opener on Saturday night.
The West Ham United striker started as the Reggae Boyz - hunting their first-ever continental title - made an encouraging start against the tournament hosts.
In fact, it looked for much of the game that they would walk away with three points from Chicago after defender Damion Lowe nodded them into a 13th minute lead.
Aston Villa forward Leon Bailey had the chance to double the lead from the penalty spot, only for US goalkeeper Matt Turner to save his effort.
Jamaica held the advantage through to the 88th minute, but were denied victory by a leveller from substitute Brandon Vasquez.
Antonio played 75 minutes in his major tournament debut, as he earned an eighth career cap for his country.
Jamaica's Group A campaign continues on Wednesday when they take on Trinidad and Tobago in St Louis. Their final group game is next Sunday against Saint Kitts and Nevis.
