Thompson got the start for the Reggae Boyz with expected starter Andre Blake remaining with the Philadelphia Union this weekend for the club’s MLS game against the Colorado Rapids. As in last year's CONCACAF Gold Cup, where he came off the bench to help lead Jamaica to the final for the first time, the veteran goalkeeper performed admirably.

Thompson recorded three saves in the first half before Duwayne Kerr came on to play the second 45 minutes for Jamaica. Only Nicolas Castillo’s goal with eight minutes to go denied Jamaica a shutout.

Jamaica will open the 2016 Copa America Centenario on Sunday, June 5 as it faces Venezuela at Chicago’s Soldier Field to open group play.
