QAT vs PN: BBVA Compass Stadium will host the opening group stage match of Group D of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. This match will be played between Qatar and Panama.
Qatar is walking into this encounter after securing a comfortable 1-0 win over El Salvador in a Friendly match. After a fighting first half, the scoreboard read nil-nil as both the teams failed to convert their chances created. As the match progressed, it moved nearer to a stalemate. However, a late goal by Almoez Ali in the 69th minute turned out to be the winning goal for Qatar.
Panama too was involved in an international friendly game in their previous matchup. They suffered a humiliating defeat against Mexico. Diego Lainez started off the proceedings with an early goal in the first half. Minutes into the second half, César Montes made it 2-0 for Mexico. Henry Martín later joined the party by scoring a final second beauty to make it an all-around 3-0 win for Mexico.
This will be an all-important first match to announce their arrival as favourites to qualify from Group D.
