After a couple of strong defensive displays to open this qualifying round, El Salvador saw their game with Canada start to get away from them in the early going, conceding twice after only 11 minutes.

Their commitment to hang back and neutralise their opponents worked to near perfection against the USA and Honduras, but it was nowhere to be found in Toronto as some sloppy defensive work gave the Canucks a comfortable win.

So far, the strategy for Hugo Perez and his team appears to be to get everyone behind the ball and shut down the opposition at all cost, however with zero goals after three matches, you would think that there will come a time soon where they will have to start taking more chances.

Scoring opportunities for this side have been at a premium, firing only two shots on target in this round of qualifying while going goalless in their previous five games in all competitions.

While they have had a passive approach to attacking, their defending has been highly aggressive, particularly in their last qualifier when they committed 21 fouls, many of them needless hacks as they appeared frustrated by the way that game had panned out.

At the moment, they are on a path that is virtually identical to the one they had in the final qualifying round for the 2010 World Cup, when they also drew their first two games before losing match number three and eventually finishing in fifth.

It has been over 10 years since they triumphed over the Panamanians, beating them in a penalty shootout at the 2011 Gold Cup, although their last victory against them after 90 minutes came in a World Cup qualifying match in 2008 in San Salvador when they scored three times in the final 20 minutes to capture a 3-1 win.
La Selecta have made it clear that they intend to shut you down by any means necessary, but unfortunately, that approach has seen them look almost invisible in the attack.

Panama are a solid defensive side, with a striker in Blackburn who is in good goalscoring form at the moment, so we expect them to e

在预选赛开局的几场强劲的防守后，萨尔瓦多队在与加拿大队的比赛中，在开场仅11分钟就两度失球。

在对阵美国和洪都拉斯的比赛中，加人队的防守一直拖后腿，压制对手，但在多伦多的比赛中，他们却没有做到这一点，因为一些马虎的防守让加人队轻松取胜。

到目前为止,雨果·法勒斯和他的团队的策略似乎是每个人背后的球和关闭反对派不惜一切代价,然而与零目标在三场比赛后,你很快就会认为终有一天,他们将不得不开始采取更多的机会。

这支球队的进球机会非常宝贵，在这轮预选赛中，他们只有两次射正，而在之前的五场比赛中都没有进球。

虽然他们的进攻很被动，但防守却很有侵略性，尤其是在上次预选赛中，他们犯规21次，其中很多都是不必要的犯规，因为他们似乎对比赛的结果感到沮丧。

目前，他们的道路几乎和2010年世界杯预选赛最后一轮一样，当时他们在第三场比赛失利前两场都战平，最终以第五名的成绩结束比赛。

它已经超过10年了,因为他们战胜了巴拿马,在点球大战击败了他们在2011年的金杯赛,虽然他们最后战胜他们90分钟后在2008年世界杯预选赛在圣萨尔瓦多得分三次在最后20分钟时捕捉3 - 1获胜。
Selecta已经明确表示他们会不惜一切手段关闭你们，但不幸的是，这种方式让他们在攻击中几乎被忽视了。

巴拿马是一支坚固的防守球队，布莱克本的前锋现在有很好的进球状态，所以我们希望他们能成功
