Panama Defeats US in Crucial Copa America Match

Panama defeated the United States 2-1 in a crucial Copa America match, putting the US in a precarious position needing a win against Uruguay to advance. The US played almost the entire match with ten men after Tim Weah received a red card in the 18th minute for striking an opponent. Folarin Balogun initially put the US ahead, but Panama equalized shortly after, and Jose Fajardo scored the winning goal in the 83rd minute. Backup goalkeeper Ethan Horvath, who replaced the injured Matt Turner, was unable to stop Fajardo's close-range shot. The game ended with Panama also down to ten men following a late red card for Adalberto Carrasquilla. The US must now secure a victory against Uruguay to avoid elimination from the tournament.
