Player Ratings: Panama 2-0 Canada

Goal.com looks back on Tuesday night's performances in Panama City where Panama easily beat Canada 2-0.

By Nick Sabetti

    J. Penedo

    Canada wasn't very dangerous going forward and Penedo had very little to do.

    E. Dasent

    Very comfortable in possession. His life was certainly made easier with the exit of Dwayne De Rosario, but he dealt well with Ricketts when he came on.

    Felipe Abdiel Baloy Ramírez

    Sound defensive performance. He marshaled Panama's backline admirably.

  • Luis Alfonso Henriquez

    Luis Alfonso Henriquez

    Able to get forward with a lot more regularity than he did in the first game, the defender put in a very good two-way performance.

  • R. Torres

    3.50

    R. Torres

    Didn't get forward as much as Henriquez, but he played a very astute tactical game by filling in some of the defensive voids left by players venturing forward. A strong performance that certainly makes up for his horrid miss in the first game.

  • Armando Cooper

    Armando Cooper

    Not as effective in the offensive phase but he brought balance to the side.

  • Quintero

    Quintero Top of the Match

    A constant menace on the left hand side. He helped finish the game off with his decisive assist on Panama's second goal.

  • G. Gómez

    3.50

    G. Gómez

    Won many balls in midfield and didn't lose many himself.

  • A. Henríquez

    3.00

    A. Henríquez

    Supposed to bring that creative spark in the center of midfield. He held the ball up pretty well but his link up play in the attacking third wasn't particularly stellar.

  • B. Pérez

    0
    3.00

    B. Pérez

    Again, wasn't so noticeable, but he did well to finish off Quintero's play to give Panama a decisive second goal.

  • R. Blackburn

    R. Blackburn

    Did really well to open the scoring for Panama in the first half from the corner, having to out-jump taller Canadian defenders.

    Lars Hirschfeld

    Nothing much he could do to keep out Panama's two goals, though he probably could have made sure to get someone on his back post for the corner that led to the opening goal.

  • Andre Hainault

    Andre Hainault

    Except for being beaten on the corner for the first goal, not a terrible performance by any means.

  • Ante Jazic

    2.50

    Ante Jazic

    Defended fairly well. Not much he could do on both of Panama's goals. But didn't offer a whole lot in the offensive phase.

  • David Edgar

    2.00

    David Edgar Flop of the Match

    Not a night to remember for the defender. Quintero had his number all night, and finished him off in the second half with some nifty play to give Panama a two-goal advantage.

  • Kevin McKenna

    Kevin McKenna

    Could have made matters worse with a few misplaced passes. Didn't look as solid as he has been in recent outings.

  • Marcel de Jong

    2.50

    Marcel de Jong

    Almost scored in the first half, but was otherwise not much of a threat on the left-hand side.

  • Atiba Hutchinson

    2.50

    Atiba Hutchinson

    Was stellar on Friday, but mediocre this time around. Often out-muscled in midfield and wasn't able to get into many advanced positions as he would have liked.

  • Dwayne De Rosario

    3.00

    Dwayne De Rosario

    Came off early due to injury. His creativity was greatly missed.

  • Julian De Guzman

    3.00

    Julian De Guzman

    Gave everything he had and covered so much ground, but was left with way too much to do.

  • Patrice Bernier

    2.00

    Patrice Bernier

    Very sluggish in possession and wasteful with his set pieces.

  • Simeon  Jackson

    2.50

    Simeon Jackson

    Played in his more preferred center forward position, but was left completely isolated up top.

Substitutions

  • Tosaint Ricketts

    Tosaint Ricketts

    A good spark or two in the first half, but was largely ineffective.
