The USMNT allowed Canada to come from behind and lead 2-1 in the dying minutes of their knockout clash until the Yanks forced an own goal and eventually won the tie on penalties, while the Panamanians stamped their autority in a 4-0 win over Qatar to reach here.

Team news & squads
United States team news
GOAL has pondered on the prospect of USMNT boss B.J. Callaghan opting to start both Jesus Ferreira and Brandon Vazquez in attack against Panama, but that looks unlikely.
Goalkeeper Matt Turner was the hero, saving twice in the penalty shootout on Sunday.
Midfielder Jalen Neal is expected to miss out after suffering a knock to his knee in the win against Canada, and though the 19-year-old was replaced by Aaron Long, Matt Miazga may get the nod on Wednesday.
United States possible XI: Turner; Reynolds, Robinson, Miazga, Jones; Busio, Sands, Mihailovic; J. Morris, Ferreira, Zendejas
