In a tightly contested match at SoFi Stadium, Panama defeated the United States 1-0, thanks to Cecilio Waterman's goal in stoppage time. The U.S. had a promising start, hitting the post and having a goal disallowed for offside, but struggled to capitalize on opportunities. Despite efforts from U.S. substitutes Jack McGlynn and Patrick Agyemang, they could not break through. This win marks Panama's continued success over the U.S., who have now lost significantly in recent matchups, including a previous loss in the Copa América.
A second-half stoppage time goal from Cecilio Waterman earned Panama a late 1-0 win over the United States in the semifinals of the Concacaf Nations League.
With the game looking like it was headed to extra time, Waterman hit a low shot from just outside the penalty area that beat U.S. keeper Matt Turner.
After a slow start to the match, the U.S. started to gain some traction in the attacking third near the 20th minute, with Josh Sargent hitting the post.
Panama will face the winner of Thursday's late game between Canada and Mexico in the final on Sunday.
