They scored nine goals in those six matches and conceded just four times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They only managed draws against Suriname in their two meetings but two wins over El Salvador and a victory against Guatemala proved decisive, leaving Panama three points ahead of Suriname, who had to settle for a place in the inter-confederation playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-panama-key-players-for-world-cup-2026\">Panama key players for World Cup 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-panama-top-world-cup-golden-boot-contender-jose-fajardo\">Panama top World Cup Golden Boot contender: Jose Fajardo<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Key stat: <\/strong>Scored the goal that gave Panama a famous win over the United States at the 2024 Copa America.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One thing&#8217;s for sure at this World Cup &#8211; Panama will look to Jose Fajardo for goals. He has scored 17 times for his country, including three times in qualifying, and twice en route to the 2024 Copa America quarter-finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-panama-creative-outlet-amir-murillo\">Panama creative outlet: Amir Murillo<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Key stat: <\/strong>The attacking defender was Panama\u2019s top assist provider in qualifying.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amir Murillo currently plays his trade in France with Marseille and has previously featured for Anderlecht and New York Red Bulls; bringing valuable experience at the top level. Murillo has impressive attacking returns for a full-back\/wing-back, having scored nine goals and provided 12 assists in 90 international appearances for Panama, including three during the World Cup qualifying campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-panama-card-magnet-amp-top-tackler-anibal-godoy\">Panama card magnet &amp; top tackler: Anibal Godoy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Key stat: <\/strong>Has accumulated a record 158 caps for Panama since making his debut in 2010.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Panama\u2019s captain made his debut back in 2010 and has since gone on to win over 150 caps for his country.

Throughout qualification, the approach proved highly effective as Panama went unbeaten in 10 matches, during which they recorded six clean sheets and scored 19 goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Orlando Mosquera is expected to start in goal, protected by a back three that will almost definitely include Andres Andrade and Fidel Escobar. The system relies heavily on the wing-backs for width and ball progression, with Amir Murillo on the right and Eric Davis on the left. In central midfield, captain An\u00edbal Godoy and Adalberto Carrasquilla will be expected to partner up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further forward, Christiansen faces key selection decisions. The striker role could fall to either Jose Fajardo or Cecilio Waterman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/stats\/clubs\/panama\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Get the latest Panama World Cup goals, assists, shots, passes and tackle stats here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-panama-manager-analysis\">Panama manager analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Panama have been under the watch of Thomas Christiansen since the summer of 2020. After digesting the initial disappointment of failing to qualify for the 2022 World Cup, Christiansen has gone on to make a significant impact in the dugout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under his guidance, Panama reached the final of the 2023 Gold Cup, progressed to the quarter-finals of the 2024 Copa America, contested the 2025 Concacaf Nations League final, and secured qualification for the 2026 World Cup without suffering a single defeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bolstered by these performances, the Dane will target a historic result in Panama&#8217;s opening World Cup fixture against Ghana as he looks to secure Panama\u2019s first-ever point &#8211; or even points &#8211; on the global stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">English audiences may recall Christiansen from his brief eight-month spell at Leeds United during the 2017\u201318 season, while his coaching resume also includes spells with Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium and Cypriot sides APOEL and AEK Larnaca. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a player, Christiansen enjoyed a prolific career, notably scoring 28 goals in 60 appearances for Barcelona B, though he never broke into the first team. He went on to feature for clubs including Oviedo, Villarreal and Hannover 96, and finished as joint top scorer in the Bundesliga with VfL Bochum during the 2002\u201303 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Coach<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Team<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">P<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">W<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">D<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">L<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Win %<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Thomas Christiansen<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Panama<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">93<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">45<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">22<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">26<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">48.39%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-panama-world-cup-faqs\">Panama World Cup FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Where did Panama finish at the last World Cup?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Panama didn\u2019t qualify for the 2022 World Cup.

World Cup?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yoel Barcenas has been Panama&#8217;s captain at the World Cup so far this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Who is Panama\u2019s all-time top goalscorer at World Cups?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Panama have only scored two goals at the World Cup and one of them was an own-goal, meaning Felipe Baloy is their top scorer in the tournament after he netted their first-ever goal in the 6-1 defeat to England.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read
