Post Match
The United States stormed to their third straight victory under new manager Brian McBride and their second straight 2-0 win in qualifying. Similar to last time, the US had to wait until the dying embers of the game to really finish it off despite domination throughout. The Stars and Stripes racked up 65% possession on 9 shots on target to Panama's 1, thoroughly dominating every facet of the match.
After the match, McBride spoke with the press. "Another solid win from the lads. We took the game to Panama and took our chances, and we go home now with another three points in the bag. We're clean through on the top of the group, and the hard work starts in earnest now to stay there and make it to the next round of qualifying."
