The United States’ Copa América Group C showdown with Panama had descended into chaos Thursday evening in Atlanta.

While the U.S. were dominant in the opening 20 minutes, they appeared to dig themselves a hole when Timothy Weah was sent off for violent conduct.

The Juventus man seemed to let his frustration get the better of him when he took a swing at a Panamanian defender behind the play. But VAR is always watching, and Weah was given his marching orders.

To make matters worse for Weah, he made unfortunate history in the process, receiving the fastest red-card for a USMNT player since Jimmy Conrad in the17th minute of a friendly against Honduras in 2010.

Dramatically, the United States took the lead shortly after when Folarin Balogun sent a stunning shot in off the post just minutes later to shock their Group C rivals.

The chaos would not stop there however, as the celebrations barely came to an end before Cesar Blackman quieted the pro-USA crowd by beating Matt Turner with a shot from around the penalty-spot.

Get your popcorn ready folks, we’re in for crazy night of Copa América.
