Cecilio Waterman enjoyed two life highlights in a memorable night at SoFi Stadium on Thursday. Not only did the Panama striker score a stunning winner against the U.S. men's national team, he got to celebrate with his soccer idol, Thierry Henry.
Waterman's goal came in the fourth minute of second-half injury time as Panama beat the three-time defending champion USMNT 1-0 in Inglewood, California, to reach the Concacaf Nations League final.
Waterman took a pass down the right side from Adalberto Carrasquilla in front of a packed-in U.S. defense and fired a perfect right-footed diagonal shot past Matt Turner into the far left corner.
