Team News:
After conceding two late goals to be denied wins against Haiti and Honduras, Panama need to take at least one point from the final group game against the United States if they want to remain in the competition.
That will be no easy task seeing as Adolfo Machado (22/1) and Luis Henriquez (77/3) both miss out through suspension. The likes of Jaime Penedo, Armando Cooper, Luis Tejada and Anibal Godoy are all on one yellow card.
Players to watch: Blas Perez, Luis Tejada.
Probable starting line-up (4-4-2): Penedo – Patrick, Torres, Cummings, Davis – Cooper, Godoy, Gomez, Quintero – Perez, Tejada.
