The United States' historic 0-0 draw at the Estadio Azteca wasn't the only thing going on in CONCACAF qualifying on Tuesday, with FC Dallas striker Blas Pérez netting in Panama's 2-0 home win over Honduras. D.C. United midfielder Marcos Sánchez, along with Pérez, went the full 90 for Panama, while Víctor Bernárdez (San Jose), Mario Martínez (Seattle), Boniek García (Houston) and Jerry Bengtson (New England) all featured for Honduras.
In the other CONCACAF game, Costa Rica scored a 2-0 win over visiting Jamaica. Álvaro Saborío was the lone MLS man in the Costa Rica lineup, though former Chivas USA defender Michael Umaña opened the scoring for the Ticos. Portland's Donovan Ricketts featured in goal for the Reggae Boyz while Houston's Jermaine Taylor went the full 90 in the center of defense.
