Panama has carved its name into the history books by advancing to the Copa America quarterfinals for the first time, following a 3-1 victory over Bolivia to secure second place in Group C.

Panama's upcoming quarterfinal match will see them pitted against the winner of Group D, most likely either Brazil or Colombia. The historic win was orchestrated by José Fajardo, who netted his 12th international goal in the 22nd minute, followed by Eduardo Guerrero in the 79th minute, and a final goal from César Yanis in stoppage time.

With Danish coach Thomas Christiansen at the helm, Panama navigates their second Copa America appearance. Meanwhile, history was made off the field as well, with Brazilian referee Edina Alves and assistants Neuza Back of Brazil and Mary Blanco of Colombia forming the first all-female on-field officiating crew in the Copa America.
