Prior to Weah’s dismissal, the U.S. was in control of the game, with an early goal ruled out for offside. However, Weah’s red card changed the course of the match, leading to chaos on the field. Despite a stunning goal from Folarin Balogun, Panama quickly responded and ultimately secured the win with a late goal from Jose Fajardo.
The U.S. now faces a crucial match against Uruguay, with coach Gregg Berhalter likely coaching for his job and the players playing for their legacy. The upcoming game is expected to be one of the biggest in the program’s history, as the USMNT looks to bounce back from their costly mistakes against Panama.
