Bruce Arena laments wasteful midfield in U.S.'s surprise draw with Panama

Bruce Arena says the United States "turned the ball over way too much" against Panama in their 1-1 CONCACAF Gold Cup draw with Panama on Saturday.

Dom Dwyer scored for the second straight game but Miguel Camargo's goal gave Panama a 1-1 tie, ending a streak of 13 straight wins by the Americans in their opener of the CONCACAF tournament.

Camargo's 60th-minute goal capped a dominant 10-minute stretch for Panama after Dwyer had put the U.S. ahead.

"It's just unfortunate," U.S. midfielder Alejandro Bedoya said. "It's frustrating. It's disappointing."

After getting a goal in his American debut last weekend against Ghana, the England-born Dwyer scored in the 50th minute with a left-footed shot from nine yards that went in off the far post.
