Sargent came close to doubling the USMNT’s lead quickly after the restart but again was denied by a diving Mosquera.
Turner kept the USMNT in front after making a double save to deny Panama an equalizer. Edgar Barcenas’ curling effort was punched wide by Turner before the Crystal Palace goalkeeper repelled Jose Rodriguez’s follow-up chance.
Defensively, the USMNT did everything they could to keep Panama off the scoresheet, blocking several efforts and racing back to defend in numbers.
Malik Tillman, Ricardo Pepi, Tanner Tessmann, Haji Wright, Alex Zendejas and Kristoffer Lund all featured off the bench in the second half.
The USMNT wouldn’t allow a shot on target the rest of the way, earning their first clean sheet since June 23 (2-0 Copa America win vs. Bolivia).
Wright and Pepi connected for the USMNT’s insurance goal in second-half stoppage time, as the PSV forward slotted home his 11th senior goal.
Mexico awaits on Tuesday in Guadalajara for the USMNT’s final friendly of the October window.
