The Central American: Jose Fajardo scored late as Panama kept alive its hopes of reaching the Copa America quarterfinals with a 2-1 victory over the United States on late Thursday night.

The tournament host was reduced to 10-men in the 18th minute at Mercedes-Benz Stadium when Timothy Weah was shown a straight red card for a violent challenge on Roderick Miller.

Despite the setback, the United States went ahead four minutes later through Folarin Balogun, who combined with Antonee Robinson before firing a left-footed shot into the top-right corner, reports Xinhua.
