Panama advances to knockout stage with 2-1 win over Martinique

Posted : 01 July 2023
Panama took a significant step towards the knockout stage of the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup with a 2-1 victory over Martinique on Friday night.
 
Panama came close to scoring early in the sixth minute when Michael Murillo's shot narrowly missed the target after skillfully controlling the ball in the box.
 
With the support of an enthusiastic crowd, Panama continued their attacking efforts. In the ninth minute, Jose Fajardo's powerful shot was saved by Martinique goalkeeper Theo De Percin. Martinique, on the other hand, posed some threats on the counterattack but failed to seriously trouble their opponents.
 
Despite Panama's dominance in the first half, neither team managed to score. De Percin made three quality saves, keeping Martinique in the game going into halftime.
 
The second half saw a different narrative as Panama broke the deadlock early in the 57th minute. Fajardo headed the ball into the net from a perfectly placed cross by Eric Davis. Seizing the opportunity, Panama extended their lead in the 69th minute with a strong close-range strike from Murillo.
 
Panama had further chances to score, but in the end, it was Martinique who found a consolation goal in second-half stoppage time through Karl Fabien.
 
With six points from two matches, Panama now lead Group C and are well-positioned to advance to the quarterfinals for the first time since 2019. Martinique, with three points from two matches, are still in contention for progression.
