US beats Panama 3-0 in Berhalter's debut as coach

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Gregg Berhalter became only the third U.S. coach in the modern era to start with a win, Djordje Mihailovic and Christian Ramirez scored in their national team debuts and the Americans beat Panama 3-0 Sunday night in an exhibition between nations that started inexperienced lineups.

Walker Zimmerman also scored for the U.S., which used a roster of players all from Major League Soccer and drew just 9,040, its smallest for a home game since October 2016.

Seven U.S. players made debuts, including five starters -- the most since in the starting lineup since Sept.
