Yunus Musah's first international goal and a late strike from Ricardo Pepi gave Mauricio Pochettino victory in his first game as United States men's national team coach, with a 2-0 win over Panama in a friendly in Austin, Texas, Saturday.
The match in front of a near-capacity crowd of 20,239 at Q2 Stadium was the first of two friendlies for the U.S. in a four-day span that includes a game against Mexico on Tuesday in Guadalajara. The U.S. ended a four-game winless stretch and its first four-game home winless streak since a seven-game slide in 2010-11.
