Drawing on the road in CONCACAF World Cup qualifying is an adequate result. But the United States was capable of more. The 1-1 draw puts Panama at 3rd in the Hex with the United States a point behind with a 1-2-1 +1 record. As on Friday night, the attacking threats came via Christian Pulisic and Clint Dempsey.
Dempsey’s 39th minute goal gave the US a short-lived 1-nil lead. Assisting on the play was Pulisic, of course. The Dortmund mid dribbled past both Felipe Baloy and Roman Torres and then fed the ball to Clint.
