Concacaf World Cup qualifying: Panama 1-0 USA
Americans fail to register shot on target
USMNT still in automatic qualifying place despite loss

Anibal Godoy scored in the 54th minute and Panama upended the United States 1-0 in a World Cup qualifier on Sunday night when American coach Gregg Berhalter started a largely second-string lineup in the middle of another hectic stretch of three matches in seven days.

Christian Pulisic, Gio Reyna and Weston McKennie were out with injuries, Tyler Adams and Brenden Aaronson were on the bench, and Antonee Robinson didn’t travel because of British Covid-19 restrictions that would have required a quarantine on his return to England.
