McCarty, USMNT draw Panama 1-1 in 2017 Gold Cup opener

Chicago Fire midfielder Dax McCarty and the United States Men's National Team kicked off their 2017 Gold Cup campaign with a 1-1 draw against Panama at Nashville's Nissan Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Following a scoreless first half, newly-minted U.S. citizen Dom Dwyer bagged his second goal in as many matches to give the U.S. the lead in the 50th minute. Panama would find their equalizer 10 minutes later, when Miguel Camargo fired a rebounded attempt past U.S. 'keeper Brad Guzan. Each nation picked up their first point in the tournament's Group B, with group mates Nicaragua and Martinique still to play.
