ATLANTA -- Coach Julio Dely Valdes was upset when Panamas sudden lapse in concentration led to an early goal for Cuba. Panama didnt need long, though, to regain its aggressive identity and make Valdes smile. "It came in a moment when Panama was dominating the game, and we were looking to attack," Valdes said. "Its very difficult when you get scored upon because it gets very complicated. We had to continue to pursue the attack." Gabriel Torres scored two goals in the first half to help Panama beat 10-man Cuba 6-1 in the quarterfinals of the Gold Cup on Saturday. Panama, which has three wins and no losses in four Gold Cup games this year, advanced to the semifinals next week in Dallas. Torres, whose penalty kick in the 25th minute made it 1-1, gave Panama a 2-1 lead 13 minutes later. Blas Perez assisted on the goal by heading Gabriel Gomezs crossing pass to Torres, who kept the ball from touching the ground and used his right foot to beat goalkeeper Odelin Molina on the right side from 8 yards. Torres has five goals in four Gold Cup games. He scored twice in Panamas 2-1 group stage win over Mexico. Cuba played a man down and gave up four goals in the last 32 minutes after Ariel Martinez was given a red card for a hard foul against Perez. "I dont think it merited a red card," Cuba coach Walter Benitez said. "It was unexpected." With Martinez gone from the game, Cuba gave up a flurry of goals. Carlos Rodriguez put Panama ahead 3-1 in the 68th minute from 12 yards. Perez added a breakaway goal in the 77th minute to make it 4-1, Jairo Jimenez scored in the 85th minute and Perez again in the 86th. Losing Martinez was a big blow to Cuba considering that he scored three goals in a 4-0 win over Belize earlier this week. The Cubans, who have lost 13 of their past 15 Gold Cup games, led 1-0 in the 21st minute when Jose Ciprians right-footed kick from the centre of the box beat goalie Jamie Pendo to the right side. Panama has allowed one goal or none in eight straight Gold Cup games. The Panamanians lost to the U.S. in the semifinals two years ago. Valdes liked how Perez, who missed the win over Mexico to fulfil his Major League Soccer obligation to FC Dallas, was active throughout the afternoon with two goals and an assist. It marked Perezs first goals in three tournament games. "As a forward, he always wants to be accompanied with goals," Valdes said. "We saw today the Blas of always, working very well on the field." Though Panamas past four goals came against an outmanned opponent, Valdes was pleased that his team kept attacking to put Cuba away. "Its not easy to score six goals, including that we couldve scored another one, but there are things early that we must improve," Valdes said. "Early in the game, there was too much overconfidence, and we have to be serious when the other team is trying to demonstrate that they are superior."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey expects an earful Sunday, a steady stream of smack talk from Baltimore Ravens receiver Steve Smith.The rookie insists hes ready.Everybody knows hes a trash-talker, Ramsey said. Hes gotten into DBs heads in the past. But you cant get in my head. Im going to play football.Easier said than done against Smith, a 37-year-old veteran whos been running his mouth -- and backing it up -- for 16 NFL seasons. Smith has 969 receptions for 14,015 yards and 76 touchdowns, and is widely considered one of the leagues all-time entertainers and a walking sound bite.Asked whether hes toned down his act with age, Smith said hes as insulting now as ever before.Im still a dirtbag, so, no, that has not changed one bit, he said.Ramsey could be his top target when the Jaguars (0-2) host the Ravens (2-0) on Sunday. The fifth overall pick in the NFL draft who won a national championship at Florida State, Ramsey has no shortage of confidence. He basically daared Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to throw his way before the season opener and welcomed Smiths antics.ddddddddddddThats cool. Well see, Ramsey said.This much is certain: the game will pit the NFLs oldest receiver against the leagues youngest starting cornerback.Age doesnt matter, the 21-year-old Ramsey said. He definitely still has juice in him, can make some big plays for them. Hes had a pretty good year so far. I look forward to it.Smith probably does, too, especially knowing he has a chance to try some old tricks on a newcomer.I dont really pay attention to how well Im in a guys head, Smith said. If I feel like saying something, Ill say something. I was talking to a guy last week and I said something, and then after the game, it was all squashed and then we moved on.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
