The second round of the group stage of the Copa America ushered in a match, the United States against Panama. The United States is ranked 11th in the world and has good strength. In the first round, the United States faced Bolivia and won 2-0 thanks to goals from Christian Pulisic and Balogun. This time the United States is facing Panama, ranked 43rd in the world. Panama lost 3-1 to Uruguay in their opening group game. Against opponents of this level, the minimum goal for the United States is to score all three points. As a result, I didn't expect the United States to be upset, and it was reversed and killed, breaking out the biggest upset in the Copa America so far.

In this game, the United States lined up 433 offensive formations. Christian Pulisic, Balogun and Weah form the attacking trident. Reina, Tyler Adams and McKennie combined in midfield. Robinson, Ream, Chris Richards and Joseph Scully started the game in the back four. Matt Turner was the starting goalkeeper.

The turning point of the game came in the 18th minute, when Weah was sent off for hitting his opponent in the head, causing the United States to kick one man less early. Although Balogun then took the lead for the U.S. with a world wave. However, Blackman was soon in the back of the game to equalise. It wasn't until the 83rd minute of the game that the third goal came. Fajardo blasts the goal! The U.S. team crashed! Five minutes later, Kalashilla was sent off for bringing down Christian Pulisic and the game became 10-on-10. But time is running out. The U.S. team was never able to score their second goal. The final score was fixed at 1-2, and the United States team lost to Panama in an upset!

In this game, Panama managed a whopping 74% possession, 13 attempts at goal with 4 on target and 2 goals scored. The U.S., on the other hand, had only six shots on goal and scored one. Obviously, Weah's fate completely changed the situation, causing the United States to fall into total passivity. Weah was the biggest culprit in the U.S. team's loss. Unexpectedly, the star-studded American team lost the game against Panama, which was worth only 24.48 million euros. The game threw the group into disarray, with the United States now and Panama both with three points. It will not be easy for the United States to qualify, after all, the final group game is against a very strong Uruguay.
