New York Red Bulls' Michael Amir Murillo picked up his 13th cap for his country against Nicaragua in the second round of group stage games in the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Murillo is one of several players in the Panama player pool seeking to convince head coach Hernan Dario Gomez that they have a part to play in the team's efforts to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. To that end, Murillo already has a head start: he has been a regular member of Panama's squads for World Cup qualifiers recently, and started the team's last game in the CONCACAF Hexagonal (against Honduras).
