Panama initially fell behind when José Ciprian Alfonso converted a chip pass by Jaime Colomé in the 21st minute.

Once again Gabriel Torres stepped up and made it 1–1 only four minutes after the Cuban goal. In the 37th minute, Torres scored another goal, this time after a headed pass by his co-striker Blas Pérez. In the second half, Cuba was decimated after Ariel Martínez was sent off after a high challenge on Blas Pérez. Panama went on to score four more times, making the final result 6–1. In the semifinal, the Canaleros once again faced title defender Mexico. Panama took an early lead through a goal from Blas Pérez in the 13th minute, but Luis Montes equalized for El Tri midway through the first half. In the 61st minute, Panama skipper Román Torres headed in a corner by Gabriel Torres, once again giving his team the lead. This time, it lasted till the final whistle, despite several good opportunities for the Mexicans.
