(Reuters) - Christian Pulisic pulled the strings and Jozy Altidore grabbed a brace as the United States overran Panama 4-0 in Orlando on Friday to leave them on the verge of automatic qualification for next year's World Cup finals in Russia.
The victory lifted the United States into third place in the six-team CONCACAF group, above Panama, who started the day a point ahead of them.
