The United States needed to get off to a hot start against Panama, and thanks to Jozy Altidore, they have an early and vital 2-0 lead as they push for World Cup qualification late in the final Hex round of CONCACAF qualification.

Just like the first goal, this one was created by a moment of absolute brilliance from Christian Pulisic, who took what looked like a cut-off attack and with one touch opened it back up again, lancing in a cross in front of the face of goal that Altidore turned in with ease.
The USMNT has been putting absolutely relentless pressure on Panama’s defense early in the match, and it’s still hunting for more goals. With the form that Pulisic, Altidore, and Bobby Wood have been in early on, there might just be a couple more stunners still to come.
