Blas Perez, Je-Vaughn Watson to play in Gold Cup Semifinal Matchups

Blas Perez Panama Gold Cup Quarters

And then there were four. The Semifinals of the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup will be played on Wednesday night in Atlanta, and two FC Dallas players are still alive in the tournament.


Blas Perez and Panama escaped a challenge from Trinidad and Tobago on Sunday evening, advancing on penalties, 6-5, after playing 120 minutes of a 1-1 game. Perez lead his side with six shots in the match, and played a role in the team’s lone goal – forcing a T&T miscue inside their own 18 which Luis Tejada capitalized on in the 37th minute. Panama will face Mexico 8 p.m. EST on Wednesday.


Je-Vaughn Watson looks to return to action for Jamaica in the Semis after missing the team’s Quarterfinal matchup against Haiti due to yellow card accumulation in the Group Stage. Giles Barnes scored the team’s lone goal in the 7th minute as Jamaica advanced with a 1-0 win over Haiti. The Reggae Boyz will face the United States at 5 p.m. Wednesday.


Both Semifinal matchups can be seen on FS1.
