The Canadian considered that equalized with the diving head of the substitute Cyle Larin in the 80th minute, but the goal was judged offside after a video check.
With the Canadians pushing for a draw, Atiba Hutchinson’s back heel found Junior Hoilett and the veteran made a cross to Larin in front of goal for what looked like his 25th goal for Canada. The Besiktas striker put his finger in his mouth to silence the crowd before kissing his signal while celebrating. But the celebrations ended when referee Jair Maruffo went to the stadium screen to check the offside. Canada continued to come forward during the seven minutes of delay, but could not score, with Larin’s head going out of a free kick. The Canadians ended in a draw with Mexico with 28 points with 8-2-4, but took first place in the round-robin of the eight teams due to the superior goal difference. The USA (7-3-4, 25 points) finished third in the goal difference against Costa Rica. Cyle Larin’s draw for Panama is still leading 1-0🎥: pic.twitter.com/oJp5OR1jwn – @ cbcsports
In other games Wednesday, Costa Rica beat hosts USA 2-0, Mexico 2-0 in El Salvador and Jamaica beat Honduras 2-1. Costa Rica’s No. 42 finished fourth and will face New Zealand’s No. 111 in an intercontinental playoff in June. The All Whites beat the Solomon Islands 5-0 in 142nd place earlier Wednesday in the final of the Oceania qualifiers. With a place in Qatar 2022 already confirmed after Sunday’s 4-0 win over Jamaica in Toronto, the 33-ranked Canadians were trying to finish first in the CONCACAF qualifiers and earn valuable FIFA ranking points that could help draw Friday’s Doha World Cup.

The four pot draws for the 32 teams are divided by world ranking. Canada hopes his new ranking will move him from Pot 4 to Pot 3, which will allow him a more favorable draw by avoiding a number of higher ranked countries. It was a humid temperature of 27 C at the start at the Estadio Rommel Fernandez, feeling like 30 degrees. And it was a miserable affair without any team being targeted in the first half. The hosts went on the counterattack in the 49th minute with Gabriel Torres, in his 100th appearance, scoring with a volley the perfect cross of Jose Luis Rodriguez. The cross was passed by Kamal Miller with Torres pointing with his right foot next to Maxime Crepeau in the upper corner. CLOCKS Torres scores the only goal of the match:

The Canadians pressed as the second half continued with both teams finding more space in the attack. The Canadians entered the game needing only one point to ensure they would finish first in the final table of the CONCACAF qualifiers. No. 63 Panama (6-5-3, 21 points) finishes fifth just outside qualifying. The Canadians completed three rounds of qualifiers with a record of 14-2-4, beating their opponent 54-8.
“We qualified today. But it’s time to believe in tomorrow,” Hutchinson said in a pre-match Canada Soccer video. The Canadians are at the top of the region in their first participation in the final qualifying round of the CONCACAF after qualifying in France ’98. John Herdman made seven changes to the starting line-up that secured qualification on Sunday with a 4-0 win over Jamaica in Toronto. CLOCKS Herdman the day after winning the World Cup:

Hutchinson returned as captain, playing in the center-back position instead of his regular role in midfield, with Crepos taking the baton at goal. Also in attendance were Miller, Alistair Johnston, Ismael Kone, Lucas Cavallini and Mark-Anthony Kaye. The initial 11 team entered the game with 316 participations. Hutchinson, 39, took the No. 95 cap, extending his record in Canada Men. It was a first start for 19-year-old Cone, the CF Montreal midfielder who made his bench debut last week against Costa Rica. A Panamanian natural had a little more ball in the first half, but did not do much with it as Canada maintained his form. After a draw, Torres’s header was misplaced in the 13th minute after Kone’s dismissal. Panama looked at the long ball to go behind the defense. Canada appealed unsuccessfully for a penalty in the 29th minute, when Jonathan David fell on a Panamanian penalty after getting involved with Jose Cordova. Sam Adekugbe’s attempt for a foul goal in the 39th minute went over the crossbar of Panama. At the other end, Johnston sliding tackle broke out a dangerous attack in Panama near the halftime strike. 📸 Action from the start 45 ‘ pic.twitter.com/7mIPZGkzXq – @ CanadaSoccerEN
Jonathan Osorio replaced Kone at halftime, winning his 55th appearance. Johnston made another key tackle in the 58th minute to repel another attack on Panama on the bud. Larin and Hoilett came in with half an hour left as Canada looked for a draw. Hewlett and Larin almost fed David in front of goal, only to see Panama goalkeeper Luis Mejia block the ball with his body. Crepeau made a nice dive in the 77th minute to stop Edgar Barcenas’s foul from the edge of the penalty spot. Herdman’s record at the helm of men was 29-7-4 which came into play with the only defeats from the USA (twice). Mexico (twice) Haiti, Iceland and Costa Rica. Men ranked 94th in the world when Herdman took over in January 2018, passing the women’s program. Canada’s qualifying round began on March 25, 2021, when it opened the first round with a 5-1 win over Bermuda in Orlando. The Canadians were 73rd at the time, climbing 40 places in the standings on a trip that saw them playing in the streets in eight different countries. CLOCKS How Canada qualified for Qatar:

Panama, which, like Canada and El Salvador, had to survive two qualifying rounds to get here, started the final qualifying round in style with a 4-2-2 record that included a victory over the USA and draw with Mexico. But she won only one of her next five games (1-3-1) ahead of the final against Canada. Canada entered Wednesday’s game with a career-high 4-1-6 record against Panama, winning 4-1 when the two met on October 13 at BMO Field with Alphonso Davies scoring in an unforgettable solo effort. The only defeat came in the same place on Wednesday night, a 2-0 defeat in September 2012 in the qualifiers for Brazil 2014.
Canada Soccer says Panama secretly recorded its pre-match training in 2012 and promoted a Panama Fan party outside the Canada Hotel, which was in the early hours of the day. He also said that the pitch crew watered only half of the pitch – to the benefit of the Panama attackers – during the half. This match was delayed for a while when some of the stadium lights went out at the beginning of the first half. Hutchinson was the only key player that day with the Canadian team.
