Bruce Arena's side is in the third and final automatic qualification position heading into the final four matches of the Hexagonal
The U.S. men's national team got a boost to its World Cup qualifying hopes without even playing on Tuesday night.
Following its win over Trinidad & Tobago and draw at Mexico last week, Bruce Arena's men entered Tuesday in third place in the Hexagonal. At the end of the night, somewhat unexpectedly, they were still there.
Panama failed to defeat Honduras at home on Tuesday, and needed a last-gasp equalizer to secure a 2-2 draw at the Estadio Rommel Fernandez.
