CONCACAF Gold Cup: Panama Eliminated Soca Warriors In PK Shootout Thriller; El Tri Win On Controversial OT PK

The quarterfinal round of the CONCACAF Gold Cup concluded with two games played on Sunday at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New York.

In the opener, after a 1-1 draw through 120 minutes, Valentin Pimentel converted the winning spot kick in the ninth round of the penalty-kick shootout, in which Panama defeated Trinidad and Tobago 6-5.

In the nightcap, Andres Gardado converted a controversially-awarded overtime penalty kick (120'+4) as Mexico defeated Costa Rica 1-0.

Panama will take on Mexico in a semifinal match on Wednesday at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta at 6:00 PM Pacific Time.
