The U.S. men's national team is one game away from the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup Final.
The Stars and Stripes on Sunday beat Canada in the quarterfinal in a thrilling contest that needed a penalty shootout for a winner to be decided.
Goalkeeper Matt Turner saved the first two penalties to become the hero of the game in what almost ended up in a stunning upset. But Cade Cowell, Gianluca Busio and Jesus Ferreira converted their spot kicks to send the U.S. to the semifinals, where a matchup against Panama awaits.
Panama topped a Group C that comprised Costa Rica, Martinique and El Salvador, winning two games and drawing one. Los Canaleros then routed Qatar 4-0 in their quarterfinal affair as they look to make history of their own.
