USMNT 5 – Panama 1, Concacaf World Cup qualifying

The USMNT will enter the final matchday of the Octagonal round of Concacaf World Cup qualifying with a three-point lead and a sizable goal difference for an automatic spot. Christian Pulisic lead the United States to a 5-1 win over Panama in Orlando on Sunday night, converting two penalties and finishing off a hat-trick. Pulisic opened the scoring from the spot in the 17th with Paul Arriola doubling the lead in the 23rd. Jesus Ferreira made it 3-0 in the 27th. Pulisic converted another penalty in first-half stoppage time, scoring again in the 65th minute. Panama’s Anibal Godoy scored in the 86th.

I think on a night where we needed to get a resounding win, we did so,” USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter told FS1. “We helped our goal difference and the effort today was tremendous.”

World Cup qualifying concludes on Wednesday with the USA on the road at Costa Rica. The USMNT has a three-point lead and a +13 goal difference to Costa Rica’s +3. DeAndre Yedlin and Timothy Weah served their yellow card accumulation suspensions against Panama, now available against Costa Rica.

Canada qualified for the 2022 World Cup with a 4-0 home shutout of Jamaica. Cyle Larin opened the scoring in the 13th and Tajon Buchanon doubled the lead in the 44th. Junior Hoilet made it 3-0 Canada in the 82nd and an own-goal finished off the scoring in the 88th. Costa Rica won 2-1 at El Salvador. Anthony Contreras put Costa Rica up in the 30th with Cristian Hurtado equalizing for El Salvador a minute later. Joel Campbell scored Costa Rica’s winner a minute into first-half stoppage time. Mexico shutout Honduras 1-0 away on a 70th minute Edson Alvarez goal.
