ATLANTA, USA, (CMC) – Caribbean Cup champions Cuba were eliminated from the CONCACAF Gold Cup Tournament with a 6-1 loss to Panama in a quarter-final game yesterday.

Cuba opened the scoring in the 21st minute from Jose Ciprian but then conceded a goal through the penalty spot as Gabriel Torres was spot on in the 25th minute for Panama.
Panama added a second goal through Torres before the interval.
The Cubans lost their discipline and emotions in the defence after Ariel Martinez was red carded for a high tackle in the 58th minute.
Panama capitalised on the situation and Carlos Rodriguez (68th), Blas Perez (78th, 87th) and substitute Jairo Jimenez (84th) completing the rout of the Cubans.
Panama will advance to the semi-finals and will face the winner of the Trinidad & Tobago/Mexico clash.
