Adolfo Machado surprises Dynamo teammates with throwing skills

Dynamo fans who watched either of Panama's recent World Cup Qualifiers may have been surprised to see Adolfo Machado playing right back instead of his usual centerback position.

While Machado has done that for years on the national team, there was one aspect of his game that surprised even his Dynamo coaches and teammates.

That long throw-in.

Machado routinely took the throw-ins for Panama since his position has his closest to the touch line. Late in the first half against the United States on Tuesday, he threw one ball all the way to the face of the goal.
