The United States finished Concacaf Gold Cup group play in winning fashion with a 1-0 victory over Panama in Kansas City.
While both teams had already claimed their tickets to Philadelphia for the quarterfinals, the top spot of the group was on the line. After trotting out the same lineup for each of the previous two matches, U.S. head coach Gregg Berhalter rotated his entire starting XI. While it took some time for the club to settle into the contest, veteran forward Jozy Altidore made the most of a half chance in the 66th minute with a beautiful bicycle goal.
