USA beat Panama in extra time

An extra time penalty converted by Kenny Cooper earned the United States a 2-1 win over Panama and a spot in the semi finals of this year’s Gold Cup.

Panama took the lead just before half time when Blas Perez smashed the ball past keeper Perkins, but a powerful shot from Beckerman levelled the score four minutes after the interval.

Extra time was needed in Philadelphia, where the USA slowly began to control the pitch.

After 15 minutes in extra time, a Torres foul on Holden had referee Archundia call for a penalty. Substitute Kenny Cooper struck it home with goalkeeper Penedo unable to get his hands to the ball.

The United States play their semi final match against Honduras on Thursday, at Chicago’s Soldier Field.
