Mosquera also made a save against Jesus
Ferreira in the first round, while Turner stopped Cristian
Martinez in the third.
Panama will play the final on Sunday in Inglewood, Calif.,
against Mexico, which beat Jamaica 3-0 later Wednesday night.
The match was scoreless through 90 minutes of regulation before
Ivan Anderson gave Panama a 1-0 lead in the 99th minute.
Ferreira tied it six minutes later.
It was looking similar to the U.S. match against Canada in the
quarterfinals this past Sunday, when the Canadians went up 2-1
in extra time before the Americans got the equalizer and won the
penalty shootout with two Turner saves.
Anderson, who scored his first goal in his sixth international
match, chipped the ball over an onrushing Turner -- who stepped
outside the box -- and rolled the ball into the empty net.
Ferreira, who had back-to-back hat tricks in the group stage,
scored on a volley after Jordan Morris sent a header to him.
This was the first time the USMNT went to extra time in
consecutive matches, and it had never played extra time twice in
the same tournament.
The U.S. had just one chance in the opening half, and that came
24 seconds into the match when Cade Cowell, in his first Gold
Cup start, hit the right post.
Panama owned 56 percent of the possession, but the Americans
still managed to go toe-to-toe with the visitors.
Early in the second half, Turner made an outstanding reactionary
save on a powerful one-bounce header by Ismael Diaz.
The U.S. dodged a possible penalty in the fourth minute of
regulation stoppage time when video review determined Djordje
Mihailovic did not commit a hand ball.
