Panama Stuns USA with Last-Minute Goal in CONCACAF Nations League Semifinals
Inglewood, California – In a thrilling and tense match, Panama secured a dramatic 1-0 victory over the United States in the CONCACAF Nations League semifinals at SoFi Stadium. Despite dominating possession (67% for the USA versus 33% for Panama), and creating more scoring opportunities (12 shots for the USA compared to 3 for Panama), it was Panama who emerged victorious thanks to a 90th-minute goal scored by Cecilio Waterman, assisted by Alberto Carrasquilla. The match was characterized by its intensity, with eleven fouls committed by the USA and five by Panama. Discipline also played a role, with two yellow cards for the USA (Christian Richards and Christian Pulisic) and one for Panama (Cecilio Waterman). The referee was Oshane Nation from Jamaica. Despite overwhelming possession, the USA’s lack of finishing and Panama’s late-game efficiency decided the encounter.
