FINAL, 1-0 USA: The Americans have started the 2015 Gold Cup with two straight victories. They also have won Group A as a result of their win over Haiti. The U.S. resumes group stage play against Panama on Monday, July 13 in Kansas City. Panama tied Honduras 1-1 at Gillette Stadium on Friday night.
