CONCACAF U-20 Qualifiers: Panama and Guatemala Aim for Wins in Puebla
Panama's U‑20 side opened the CONCACAF pre‑World Cup qualifying tournament with a 0‑3 defeat to Canada at the Estadio Universitario BUAP in Puebla, Mexico. The match saw Oliver Campos sent off after two yellow cards, and Canada’s Liam MacKenzie convert a penalty following a foul by Panama goalkeeper Alberto Ruiz. Panama will next face Jamaica on 29 July in the same venue as they try to recover a lost points tally.
Guatemala's U‑20 team also began their campaign with a 0‑1 loss to Costa Rica. Their second group match is scheduled for 17:00 local time against Antigua and Barbuda at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc, also in Puebla. Both teams need a win to stay alive in a format that advances the top two group finishers and the two best third‑placed sides to the quarter‑finals.
