Panama vs USMNT Copa America Tournament Record
Panama have previously taken part in just one other Copa America tournament, and that came in 2016 at the centenary event hosted by the United States.
Los Canaleros actually performed relatively admirably in their debut campaign. Two goals from Blas Perez gave Panama a 2-1 win over Bolivia in Orlando. Sadly, Panama could not keep up this form and went on to be thumped 5-0 by Argentina before losing their final game to Chile, the eventual winners, 4-2, and therefore were eliminated at the first hurdle.
The United States took part in the Copa America for the first time in 1993 but fared poorly, securing just one point from their three group games.
However, two years later, at the 1995 event, they did a whole lot better, getting all the way to the Semi-Finals before losing to Brazil, with AS Roma defender Aldair scoring the game’s only goal.
In 2016 under former Tottenham star Jurgen Klinsmann’s leadership, the US once again got to the last four; this time, they were easily defeated by Argentina, with Gonzalo Higuain scoring twice in a 4-0 rout in Houston, Texas.
Panama vs USA Head-to-Head
Panama and the USMNT have never previously met in the Copa America but have, of course, played each other countless times in World Cup qualifiers and in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
In March 2022, Gregg Berthalter’s side proved far too strong for Panama, with AC Milan and Chelsea star Christian Pulisic scoring three times in a 5-1 thrashing.
