After a stunning goal to send Panama past the United States 1-0 in the Concacaf Nations League semifinal, Cecilio Waterman had an equally stunning celebration, getting right in the face of Thierry Henry on the Paramount+ set behind the goal.

Waterman, who plays for Chilean club Coquimbo Unido, made a beeline for the French legend and delivered a message. Initially, it seemed like a contentious meeting. However, after the match, Henry revealed that Waterman told him that he was his “idol” growing up and when he scored, he had to approach him.

Waterman later gave Henry his jersey, and Henry promised to send Waterman one of his Arsenal jerseys in return.

It was a remarkable goal, the only shot Panama put on target during the match. It also marked Waterman’s first goal against the USMNT in his second game against the Americans. Panama has now triumphed over the United States three times consecutively in major tournaments.

Panama, currently ranked 36th in the FIFA world rankings, will face the winner of Mexico vs. Canada in the final. This will be the first time a team other than the USMNT wins the competition.
