USMNT player ratings vs Panama

The USMNT player ratings against Panama reflected their dominance, as Gregg Berhalter’s side eased to a 5-1 win to all but secure their World Cup qualification.

At the very least the USMNT have secured fourth-place in CONCACAF qualifying and an intercontinental playoff spot, but they are basically in the World Cup.

Christian Pulisic scored a hat trick and goals from Paul Arriola and Jesus Ferreira did the damage in the first half, as the USMNT were clinical and Panama had no answer.

With the win the USMNT can afford to lose 5-0 at Costa Rica on Wednesday and still qualify automatically for the World Cup.

Below are the USMNT player ratings for the win that basically clinched their spot

Zack Steffen: 6 – A few really shaky moments trying to claim crosses in the first half and some confusion when he came off his line in the second half. Allowed Godoy to head past him late on as he couldn’t get the shutout. He will have to clear that up and he has to play regularly ahead of the World Cup starting in November. He has to.

Shaq Moore: 7.5 – Very good display from the Tenerife right back who was a late addition to the squad. Solid defensively and added plenty in attack. Can push Yedlin and Cannon all the way to be Sergino Dest’s back-up at right back.

Miles Robinson: 7 – Won the penalty kick for the fourth goal at one end, while at the other he made a few key blocks when Panama whipped in crosses early on. Solid as ever.

Walker Zimmerman: 7.5 – Won the crucial early penalty kick and was a real nuisance from set pieces. However, let Godoy beat him from a set-piece for Panama’s goal which annoyed him mightily.

Antonee Robinson: 7.5 – One mistake early
