A wonderful left footed strike which flew into net off Keon Daniel's boot to set the Hasely Crawford Stadium alight on 84 minutes was not enough to give Trinidad and Tobago three points as Saturday's 2010 World Cup qualifier ended in a 1-1 stalemate before 14000 fans.
T&T for most parts of the game looked a team on the rise but Carlos Gallardo silenced the home fans when he flicked an incoming free kick into the far corner past Marvin Phillip in added on time. The free kick call was doubtful as Daniel appeared to have made no contact with Marco Papa before Panama's Roberto Moreno blew for the foul. Carlos Santizo drove the subsequent free kick hard goalwards and Gallardo's faint touch caught Phillip off.
This country's most celebrated footballer, Dwight Yorke, will return to the “Soca Warriors” for the important World Cup qualification clash with Guatemala today at Hasely Crawford Stadium, from 5.30 pm.

Following yesterday’s final training session, Yorke said:“I feel good about
making a return and trying to help T&T again. Being here for the
game against England brought back a bit of that desire again.
