The Stars and Stripes went into their match at Orlando City Stadium with full confidence that they were unstoppable on their home field and with their home crowd, and it showed on the scoreboard. 

Goals from Christian Pulisic, Paul Arriola and Jesús Ferreira

The match started intensely, with several shots from the USMNT towards the Panamanian goal, with missed shots that did not compensate for the effort of the locals. 

However, this changed in the 16th minute, when a penalty kick was awarded in favor of the United States after a foul by Godoy against Zimmerman. And the man chosen to take the kick was none other than Christian Pulisic.

The Chelsea player took the penalty with all the confidence that characterizes him and put the score at 1-0, which would not remain that way for long.

The next goal of the match came in the 23rd minute when Paul Arriola received across from a play initiated by Christian Pulisic. Arriola rose into the air and headed the ball home to make it 2-0. 

With this goal, everyone expected the USMNT to relax and fall back, but nothing could have been further from the truth, as Jesus Ferreira scored in the 27th minute. 

At that moment, Arriola would give a pass to Ferreira, who, finding himself in front of the opponent's goal, did not miss the opportunity and shot to score 3-0 in the match. 

And just before the end of the first half, the Stars and Stripes would score the final goal of the first half from the penalty spot. 

In stoppage time, a penalty kick was awarded to the United States, and Christian Pulisic was once again chosen to take it. The lethal Chelsea player took the kick and made the score 4-0. 

USMNT keeps Panama out of the World Cup

With the current result of their match, the USMNT has pushed Panama out of the World Cup, as they remain with 18 points and cling to third place.

With the current result, the USMNT consolidates second place in the CONCACAF World Cup Qualifiers, and puts Mexico in trouble, with Costa Rica already on their heels. 

If the Mexican national team holds on for a 0-0 draw against Honduras, it would be securing a reclassification match in the most extreme scenario.

But if they can pull out a favorable result today in San Pedro Sula, they could join the USMNT at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
