PANAMA CITY, Panama -- The U.S. men's national team battled to a 1-1 draw with Panama in a World Cup qualifier on Tuesday night. Clint Dempsey put the U.S. on top in the 39th minute only for Panama midfielder Gabriel Gomez to equalize four minutes later. Each team had chances to break through in the second half but the match ended in a stalemate that helps both sides in their quest to reach Russia 2018.
