US Coast Past Panama in World Cup Qualifier

 2-0

Team USA were lucky to come away with in a win over Jamaica thanks to a late goal by substitute Brad Evans.  Today against Panama, team USA were much more convincing, winning 2-0.

Playing in Seattle, the US had a rather easy time dealing with the Panama attack as they put nothing on target until the final moments of stoppage-time.  Panama were forced to drop back for most of the match allowing team USA to work possession and attack the Central American visitors.

Michael Bradley initiated the first goal of the match when he played Fabian Johnson into space on the left flank.  The winger then crossed the ball to the far-post for Jozy Altidore who finished easily to put the US ahead (36').

After half-time team USA added a second goal when Eddie Johnson was played in behind the Panama defense by a great ball over the top from Geoff Cameron.  Eddie Johnson timed his run perfectly to stay on-sides and finished a clean shot to put the US further ahead (53').

The US are now on top of the CONCACAF group and face Honduras next week.  Nothing is assured, but as it stands the US look like they are destined for a trip to Brazil in 2014 World Cup
