Well done Panama. That was a deserved victory, although it should never have gone to penalties. They should have won about 11-1 at the end of 120 minutes, but some good goalkeeping from Brad Guzan and some lamentable finishing from the Panamanians kept it level. USA, basically, were rubbish.Well done Panama. That was a deserved victory, although it should never have gone to penalties.

Half time, extra time: USA 1-1 Panama
Ream is back on, but he’s limping.
11.23pm BST
23:23
105 min: Ream has gone off clutching his quad. USA have had one shot on goal. One! Panama have had 10, 21 in total, and they’re still level. I am seriously perplexed. Panama should, and I say this with complete non-partisanship, be about 7-1 in the lead.
11.20pm BST
23:20
103 min: Ream is down. He got clonked by Guzan, who is never the most graceful of movers, I think it’s fair to say.
11.18pm BST
23:18
101 min: Corona looks for Yedlin, but the wide man’s cross is claimed by Mejia. This is going to penalties. I’ve never been more confident of anything in my life.
11.16pm BST
23:16
99 min: Panama love a ruckus, don’t they? Maybe they go loopy in the heat. Guzan flaps at a Davis cross, but USA win the free kick.
11.13pm BST
23:13
97 min: Beasley goes down on the edge of the box, but Godoy won it cleanly. No foul. Now Chandler and Davis are getting cranky, and suddenly there’s a fracas involving about 12 players. Jeez Louise. This is idiotic.

96 min: Panama try to counter-attack, but they look absolutely spent.
Here’s Scott Bassett:
DaMarcus is the answer that Klinsi has come up with? Don’t get me wrong, I love DMB, but this is how we move into the future? Is it time to put Jurgen out of his misery?
I think it’s more of an opportunity for the fans to thank Beasley for his long service. But who can say for sure?

10.55pm BST
22:55
88 min: Bradley’s ball in is a farce. Catching practice for Mejia.
10.54pm BST
22:54
87 min: Tony Meola reckons an MLS team should try to nab Torres from Millionarios. He’s been excellent today again, although he should have scored earlier. Cooper clips Corona. Yellow card, and a decent area for USA to attack.
Sub for Panama: Abdiel Arroyo for Rolando Blackburn.
10.52pm BST
22:52
86 min: And that’s another chance for Blackburn! Wide! A mirror image of the earlier Torres effort. Should have hit the target.
10.51pm BST
22:51
84 min: Erick Davis! His crossing has been so good all day, but he failed to provide a certain goal there. That was so sloppy: three Panamanian players were free, in the area, and he chose to cross high rather than just slide it on the deck, and it was over everyone. A huge waste: Panama should be about four goals up!
10.48pm BST

82 min: This game has heated up! Eight minutes left – who’s going to get the winner?
10.48pm BST
22:48
81 min: USA make a mess of it, and suddenly Panama are away. Quintero leads the counter, but Corona does well to recover. And that’s a brilliant save from Brad Guzan! Blackburn’s header from Davis’s cross, and Guzan gets down so well to save. Outstanding!
10.46pm BST
22:46
80 min: Cummings heads clear, and it’s a USA corner. Their first of the game, if you can believe it.
10.44pm BST
22:44
78 min: Foul by Bradley on Cooper – Bradley Cooper! – and it’s a dangerous free kick for Panama, about 25 yards from goal. Davis with it … straight at Guzan.
10.43pm BST
22:43
77 min: I really don’t mind who wins this match, but please don’t let it go to extra time. Have a heart, people!
Here’s Michael Bertin:
Pulling for your country to lose because you think some greater good will come out of it seems like more of an England thing to do. Perhaps Chad Noyes could become a Three Lions supporter if he doesn’t want the US to win.
10.41pm BST
22:41
75 min: Hernan Dario Gomez, the Panama coach, is in an almighty funk. That Stevens chance … he was absolutely all alone in front, but why didn’t he pass? Yedlin and Dempsey, the two subs, did well for the USA goal, though.
10.39pm BST
22:39
72 min: How are USA level here? Well, because Panama can’t finish, and because Dempsey is a boss. Now Dempsey outjumps Mejia, and it’s just wide!
