The debut comes after Taylor, an American whose parents are Panamanian immigrants, had initially played for his native United States of America at the U-21 and Olympic-23 levels. However, his eligibility for the Panama team was preserved as he had not been called up by the US Senior Team.

With the draw, Panama concludes international play for 2016. Taylor, whose MLS season with NYFC ended 10 days ago, will now look to build on his year during the off-season.
