Shahdon Winchester scored in stoppage time to give Trinidad and Tobago a 1-1 draw against Panama in Olympic football qualifying.

After more than an hour without a goal in a constant downpour, Panama finally broke the stalemate in the 69th minute when Cecilio Waterman found the net off a deflected shot by Anibal Godoy.

Trinidad pushed for an equalizer late and found it three minutes into added time when Winchester capitalized on a defensive breakdown in the box.

Trinidad and Tobago faces Honduras on Tuesday in the final round of group play before the tournament semifinals the following weekend.
