Jose Luis Rodriguez News: Two efforts in defeat

Rodriguez had two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-0 loss versus England.

Rodriguez was Panama's most dangerous outlet, stinging Jordan Pickford's palms with a powerful strike in the 26th minute before forcing another save with a low drive after the break, and also curling an effort just wide on the counter. His direct running gave England's defense problems throughout the match, helping Panama remain competitive deep into the second half. Panama's World Cup ends with the 2-0 defeat, eliminated at the bottom of Group L without a single goal scored across the tournament.
