USA VS PANAMA: Starting XI| Lineup notes| Start time

USA VS PANAMA: Facing a team that beat them 1-0 in October, the US men weathered multiple storms and converted almost every significant chance for a 5-1 win. Only an utter catastrophe — to be precise, a loss by six or more goals — in Costa Rica would keep the team from a trip to Qatar.

USA VS PANAMA: Starting XI| Lineup notes| Start time

Starting XI:

Shaq Moore, called up after Reggie Cannon’s COVID-19 positive test, will play at right back for DeAndre Yedlin, who is out for yellow card accumulation following Thursday’s draw at Mexico. Luca de la Torre will be inserted into the midfield, and Jesús Ferreira and Paul Arriola will get starts up front with Christian Pulisic.

Lineup Notes:

Christian Pulisic scored his first career hat trick with the national team, and additional goals from Paul Arriola and Jesus Ferreira saw the Americans cruise to a lopsided result that eliminated Panama from contention for a place at Qatar.

With 25 points and sitting in second in CONCACAF’s final qualifying table, the U.S. would need to suffer a six-goal defeat at Costa Rica on Wednesday to be denied automatic qualification and sent to a playoff with the winners of Oceania.
