00:00And by the end of the night, one of these nations could be leaving Atlanta knowing they're going out of the dock.
00:05From Group C, the USA, in the tunnel, there's the captain, Christian Flisick.
00:17Eight standing in the Western Hemisphere, we are underway.
00:20Half of the game against Europe, I'm hoping they can start that way tonight as that cross gets in.
00:24Anthony Robinson had to be alert, the overhead kick is just over the bar from Edgar Barsinas.
00:29So, a good little chance from each team in the opening, what, 100-some-odd seconds?
00:34Yeah, and it's a look at what to expect in this game.
00:37To seal the deal, that's McKinney trying an early cross in, an early touch for Orlando Mosquera,
00:43who had a busy day for Panama.
00:45In a game like this, his run's behind the back line.
00:47Like, Tim Weha made one there, Tim Ream ends up trying to find Scali.
00:51But a run from midfield, it'll force either the defense, but it can open up space for teammates.
00:55You constantly need movement against a very low block, it should be a foul.
00:58Scali's tripped up and goes down.
01:02Milisek, into the middle, it's Richards, it's saved off the bar, the rebound's loose, McKinney's there!
01:08Less than five minutes in and another early goal for the U.S. to take the lead!
01:29Well, John, the referee's not going to go to the monitor to check a factual offside decision.
01:34And the judgment here is not Ream's position when the ball comes off the post, but where his position is.
01:41With the last kick of the game and they're lost to Uruguay on Sunday.
01:44Cesar Blackman blasts that all the way through, whatever his intention was, it ends up in the field.
01:49Personas picks it up now, Blackman running for the center, the cross is meant for him!
01:53Now it looked like there was a little bit of a shove that Blackman took from a U.S. defender, but Matt Turner's down hurt.
02:02Quarter hour played, we've lost about six minutes in total.
02:05Now there's a coming together off the ball, Roderick Miller is down.
02:09Timuea, it's almost like...
02:13Yep, it's red.
02:14There you go.
02:15He's taking away the yellow, giving a red card.
02:16So we couldn't hear it over the public address, but we could actually hear him from where we're standing.
02:19Trying to pick it up, Balogun trying to return it, back to Balogun!
02:23It's in!
02:25Off the inside of the post!
02:27It's in!
02:28It's in!
02:29It's in!
02:30It's in!
02:31It's in!
02:32It's in!
02:33It's in!
02:34It's in!
02:35It's in!
02:36It's in!
02:37It's in!
02:38It's in!
02:39It's in!
02:40It's in!
02:41Off the inside of the post!
02:42What a goal from Flo Balogun to give the U.S. the lead!
03:07Wow!
03:08What a finish from Flo Balogun there!
03:10With the left foot.
03:11Now just watch him.
03:13Blackman.
03:14Robinson was there.
03:15Didn't get it out.
03:16Clean lead!
03:17It's a goal!
03:18Panama score!
03:19Cesar Blackman brought into the lineup.
03:23First career goal for his country.
03:26Levels it in Atlanta.
03:41The ball turns over in Panama's end.
03:46And the United States then are backtracking out of shape a little bit.
03:50And it's Blackman who comes inside to find some space.
03:52Anthony Robinson has to come all the way in with him.
03:55He makes the initial check.
03:56Martinez quickly forward to the goal scorer.
03:58Blackman.
03:59U.S. scrambling back.
04:00Ream blocks the initial.
04:01Barson is blocked by Scali.
04:03Comes out to Davis.
04:04His cross into a dangerous area.
04:06Anthony Robinson steers it in behind for a corner.
04:09Wide.
04:10Now the cross is sent in.
04:12It gets popped sideways.
04:13And Turner's there to collect.
04:15Ten minutes to go before the half.
04:17Wide it goes for Blackman.
04:19Crossing in.
04:20He'll get it back now.
04:22Reina out to meet him.
04:23Davis hooks it in all the way through.
04:27A competitor you want to be out there every single minute.
04:29He's so important to this team.
04:31Ah, and that's a silly foul there.
04:33It's going to be a free kick opportunity for the U.S.
04:35Now that.
04:36Pulisic swings it.
04:38Ah, that was McKenney up for it.
04:40Looks like Murray.
04:41In deep in all types of moments.
04:42Great work there.
04:43Good strength.
04:45And the referee will whistle as a foul eventually.
04:48Ball slowly.
04:50Martinez crossing in.
04:51Turner stays at home.
04:52Scali heads it away.
04:53That might be a hand ball.
04:54It's fired.
04:55Reina out to meet him.
04:56A little pump fake to create the space.
04:58Davis in.
04:59Swing and cross is over him.
05:00Good work by Gio Reina there.
05:02Maybe that means that Balligan's out of energy.
05:05Davis back door.
05:06He's going to get there.
05:07He puts it into a dangerous area as the U.S.
05:09Was caught napping on that one.
05:11High yellow cards per game average international matches.
05:13This thing is just getting started based on his history.
05:16Balligan fouled.
05:19Here it comes.
05:21McKenney in the area.
05:22Out jumped.
05:23Can he drop it in?
05:24Oh, can he?
05:25Balligan is in.
05:26Balligan off the bar.
05:33And now the flag comes up for offside at the end of the sequence.
05:37And the assistant referee does the right thing.
05:39I'm not so sure.
05:40I felt like he was onside.
05:41What a ball.
05:42He expects and beats Bolivia later tonight in New Jersey.
05:44The U.S. would be in a situation where they probably would have.
05:47Goal.
05:50Martinez once again.
05:51Robinson.
05:52They have to defend this corner first.
05:54For the first time.
05:55And that one comes all the way through.
05:57Not to mention Ethan Horvath now.
05:59Into the middle for Farina.
06:01Yeah, and he'll let it go.
06:02Horvath tested for the first time tonight.
06:04That ball, you could tell, was knuckling.
06:06Because he just got anything on it he could.
06:08Exactly.
06:09And this is the challenge.
06:10Trying to go quick.
06:11Anthony Robinson on the run.
06:13Oh, what a great first touch.
06:14Gets the cross into the middle.
06:15It was behind Weston McKenney.
06:17Trying to return it in.
06:18Richards couldn't get there.
06:19Scali trying to close it down.
06:21In the lead through Flo Balligan.
06:23Giving that lead away three and a half minutes later.
06:25This time a little space, though, for Martinez.
06:27Martinez crossed.
06:28Down off the chest.
06:29Fajardo.
06:30And, well, that's a tough tackle.
06:32It's a penalty.
06:33Penalty for Panama.
06:40As Fajardo goes down.
06:43Well, it's Carter.
06:54Well, we should be hearing him on the public address.
06:58Tight this team is.
06:59How close they are.
07:00The brotherhood they have.
07:01Can it show here?
07:02Anthony Robinson.
07:03For Balligan.
07:04Balligan.
07:05Doesn't have much of an angle.
07:06Does he have support for a cross?
07:07Does he need it?
07:08Oh, it's just wide.
07:09And Pulisic was charging as well.
07:12Oh, terrific work.
07:14All the way in the back.
07:16Carter Vickers, the first pass out of pressure to Robinson.
07:19Comes charging out and backs off for the last moment.
07:21Paskett's not made it into bars.
07:22It's the return.
07:23Murillo.
07:24Horvath's second save.
07:27Also just some really heavy legs.
07:29Fajardo working on Carter Vickers.
07:31Knocks it side field.
07:33VAR showed that he struck out.
07:35That Roderick Miller of Panama.
07:37Pulisic is tripped up and goes down.
07:41A tired U.S.
07:42Horvath all the way out.
07:45Scali got to get there in time.
07:48Lobs it up in the air.
07:49Robinson got to be careful.
07:51It's knocked away by Ayarza.
07:52Hooks it back in the middle.
07:53It's in.
07:54Panama score.
07:56The pressure finally breaks through.
07:58And it's Jose Fajardo that's given Panama the lead with seven minutes to go.
08:21The U.S. laying everything on the line here.
08:23Trying to stop crosses.
08:24Chance after chance.
08:26Bodies blocking shots.
08:27And at the end, it was patience from Panama.
08:30Murillo is onside.
