Honduras beats Panama in penalties for trip to Gold Cup semifinals

Carlos Pineda helped Honduras secure the victory over Panama in penalties Saturday in the CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinal at the State Farm Arena in Glendale, Arizona.

Pineda’s successful penalty kick attempt helped make up the difference after Eduardo Guerrero was unable to score on the fifth attempt for Panama.

Anibal Godoy (Panama) and Anthony Lozano (Honduras) had each missed penalty kick attempts early, allowing the game to come down to the final set of kicks tied at 4-4.

Lozano still managed to play a key role in the final minutes of regulation, scoring the equalizer in the 82nd minute for Honduras to even the score at 1-1. In the end, Honduras managed to get over 5-4 on penalties.
