The U.S. men's national team is one game away from the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup Final.
The Stars and Stripes on Sunday beat Canada in the quarterfinal in a thrilling contest that needed a penalty shootout for a winner to be decided.
Goalkeeper Matt Turner saved the first two penalties to become the hero of the game in what almost ended up in a stunning upset. But Cade Cowell, Gianluca Busio and Jesus Ferreira converted their spot kicks to send the U.S. to the semifinals, where a matchup against Panama awaits.

Panama topped a Group C that comprised Costa Rica, Martinique and El Salvador, winning two games and drawing one. Los Canaleros then routed Qatar 4-0 in their quarterfinal affair as they look to make history of their own.
Los Canaleros has made the Gold Cup Final twice, which resulted in losses to the U.S. in 2005 and 2013. They now have a chance for revenge, but the U.S. is still looking to repeat as champions from 2021.
