US men, Panama play to 1-1 draw in Gold Cup

KANSAS CITY, Kan.

Michael Bradley scored the equalizer early in the second half, helping the United States to a 1-1 draw with Panama on Monday night and wrapping up a sluggish but unbeaten trip through group play in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Blas Perez scored in the 34th minute to give Panama (0-1-2) the lead and for a while it looked as if that would be enough. But after second-half substitutions Clint Dempsey and DeAndre Yedlin energized the Americans (2-0-1), the U.S. finally began to attack. Alejandro Bedoya’s perfect cross wound up on the right foot of Bradley, who poked the equalizer into the net in the 55th minute.
