Panama 3 - Dominica 0

Panama played host to Dominica in Panama City in the final Group C match of the CONCACAF Second Round. Dominica gifted their hosts a one-nil lead with a lazy set of passes in their own third of the pitch leading to a turnover and goal when Panama swooped in and stole the ball. Panama were simply toying with their opponents when their second goal came. A nicely executed one-two-one passing sequence from forty yards out led to a two-on-one opportunity with a goalkeeper which Panama easily finished. The 2-0 score held until halftime thanks to three great saves by Dominica goalkeeper Glenson Prince.

In the second half, Panama should have had three more goals, but Prince smothered all the chances until six minutes remained in the game. Panama finally got their third goal to secure the win by a final score of 3-0, though Prince prevented what could easily have been an 8-0 scoreline. Dominica finish the qualifiers with four losses and no goals scored whereas Panama move onto round three.
