The United States had trouble getting their attack going against Panama on Tuesday night, but it only took one great opportunity for them to take the lead. Here’s how Clint Dempsey put the USMNT on top.

How about that assist for Christian Pulisic? He had to hold off two of the toughest guys in CONCACAF, Felipe Baloy and Roman Torres, to set up this goal. This put the USA up 1-0 in their World Cup qualifier.

By scoring this goal, Clint Dempsey is only one short of the USMNT scoring record, currently held by Landon Donovan.
