Panama was already dreaming of the second goal when the referee pointed out the penalty spot for a challenge inside the area by Carter-Vickers on José Fajardo, who had entered at half-time.
But after consulting his initial decision again with the VAR screen, Barton reversed himself, considering that there had been no contact.
In the midst of Panamanian dominance without clear chances, Ricardo Pepi forgave in one of the few that the United States had, finishing weakly with a header into the hands of Mosquera.
The end of the game was approaching when in the 83rd minute the prize came for Panama, it was in a play started by Carrasquilla in which Fajardo put it in the back of the net assisted by the recently introduced Abdiel Ayarza.
Fajardo was in the right place at the right time, he gave Panama the victory over the hosts and has the ‘canalero’ team dreaming.
