ATLANTA — Panama left USA's hopes of qualifying for the Copa America knockout rounds hanging by a thread on Thursday (Friday in Manila) after scoring a shock 2-1 victory over the host nation.

A stormy Group C battle in Atlanta saw both sides finish with 10 men as Panama came from behind to snatch a victory which reignites their Copa campaign after an opening loss to Uruguay.
