Panama vs. Ecuador; a “world power”; Rams vs. Chiefs
We achieved another victory in a “friendly” match. These were the highlights.
After playing an indifferent first half, we took the lead. Our Panamanian hosts scored a tying goal in the 85th minute, but Énner Valencia scored our winning goal in the 88th, dribbling past several defenders as he’d done against Peru.

Yesterday, it was announced that Ecuador had scheduled a match against a “world power.”
(This is an example of how our national team’s Facebook page has perfected the art of click-baiting. “World power” lends itself to more than one interpretation.)
Of the responses on Facebook, this was my favorite:
Potencia mundial estos tarrineros HP más juega el aucas q EEUU.

Also worth noting: the Chiefs and the Rams – each of which, before this weekend, had a regular-season record of nine wins and one loss – staged an all-time NFL classic last night.
These were the highlights.
This is some analysis.
