Luis Tejada’s stoppage-time equalizer earned Panama a 1-1 draw with Canada and top spot in Group C at the Gold Cup on Tuesday.
Panama has seven points, three clear of Canada. The Canadians needed Guadeloupe to beat the United States in Tuesday’s late match to avoid elimination.
“Our goal before the start of this tournament was to come out on top of our group,” said Panama coach Julio Dely Valdes. “Now that we have done that, our goal is to go as far as possible in the Gold Cup and essentially win the whole thing.”
Dwayne De Rosario put Canada ahead with a 62nd-minute penalty, prompting a change in tactics that resulted a flurry of Panama chances.
“I don’t think we did a good enough job of keeping the ball and making them work to get it,” Canada coach Stephen Hart said. “They were throwing numbers forward and we just couldn’t get a hold of the ball for any period of time. Unfortunately, what happened, happened.”
