The forward of Panama Ismael Diaz this Tuesday rescued a 1-1 draw in the 96th minute of the match on the fourth day of Group A of the Concacaf qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup and with the same 6 points he marches in the shadow of Surinamwho left the Rommel Fernández stadium with a little taste.
Suriname won from the 21st minute with a goal from Richonell Margaret and not even the entry in the 57th minute of Díaz, a player from the Mexican León, seemed to threaten their plans to take all the loot and isolate themselves at the top of the group, which is completed by Guatemala with 5 points and El Salvador with 3.
The first goal of the match turned out to be the visitors’ first arrival at Orlando Mosquera’s goal. Panama’s reply through Edgar Bárcenas two minutes later helped goalkeeper Etienne Vaessen shine. In the 38th minute Sheraldo Becker was able to increase the difference, but Mosquera saved La Roja. And in the one-on-one between goalkeepers, Vaessen once again excelled in the evening of the first half against a shot by Cristian Martínez.
