USMNT's Tim Weah Apologizes for Red Card in Panama Loss: I Let My Team, Country Down

United States men's national soccer team forward Tim Weah apologized to fans in an Instagram story for his 18th-minute red card en route to his team's 2-1 loss to Panama in Copa América group play on Thursday.

The red card occurred after Weah struck Panama defender Roderick Miller in the back of his head.

Folarin Balogun put USMNT up just four minutes later with a goal. However, Panama got one back courtesy of César Blackman in the 26th minute before José Fajardo added an 83rd-minute goal for Panama to win the match.
