SAN JOSE, June 19 -- Jermaine Jones and Clint Dempsey scored as the United States moved into the Gold Cup semifinals with a 2-0 win over Jamaica in the quarterfinals on Sunday.

The host team will meet the winner of the match later Sunday between El Salvador and Panama.

Jones fired a shot from outside the penalty area and Jamaica defender Jermaine Taylor stuck out his foot, deflecting the ball past goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts in the 49th minute.

Jones beat the defense in the middle of Jamaica's half and was about to break free for a 1-on-1 chance when Taylor tackled him from behind, earning a red card in the 67th minute.

With Jamaica down a man, Dempsey added the second goal with 10 minutes to play. Juan Agudelo's cross found Dempsey on the left side of the goal. Ricketts came out to contest, and Dempsey avoided the tackle and put the ball in the empty net.

"We just played good football," Dempsey said. "We were patient. We were confident. We moved the ball around well."
