Panama U-20 advances to CONCACAF quarterfinals after 4-0 win over Honduras
Panama U-20 national football team defeated Honduras 4‑0 at Estadio Universitario BUAP in Puebla, Mexico, with goals from Josué Wood, Moisés Richards, Gerson Gordon and Carlos Rodríguez. The victory secured Panama’s place in the CONCACAF U‑20 quarter‑finals where they will face host nation Mexico for a spot in the 2027 FIFA U‑20 World Cup.
The win follows Panama’s earlier 3‑0 victory over Cuba in the Central American and Caribbean Games in Santo Domingo, and the team’s recent training camp in Puebla under coach Mike Stump, focusing on recovery and tactical preparation for the upcoming knockout match.
Panama’s preparation for the Caribbean Kids tournament in Nayarit, Mexico, was also highlighted by manager Eddie Serrano, who stressed pitching and defense as key factors, though the immediate focus remains the CONCACAF quarter‑final.
