 Havana, May 31 (JIT) - Cuban soccer player Karel Espino was crowned champion of the 2022 Clausura Soccer Tournament in Guatemala with Comunicaciones FC of the capital city.

The 1-0 victory over the Municipal of his compatriot Yasnier Matos, at the Doroteo Guamuch Flores stadium, reaffirmed the advantage of the first leg with the same score and allowed the Cremas to lift their 31st league title on Sunday night.

The Cuban international was praised by his club and posted a photo on his Facebook profile, where he is called: Our Cuban Superman, in reference to the exceptional conditions of the young man of only 20 years of age.

Despite his young age, the Havana-born player, who became a footballer from Artemis, already boasts a not inconsiderable track record, having won the 2021 Concacaf League, the 2021-2022 Concacaf Champions League and now the Guatemalan domestic tournament, of which he already has a runner-up finish.

The dizzying rise of the defender has led him to enjoy more and more prominence in the Uruguayan DT Willy Coito Olivera's team and to be an undisputed starter of the Cuban national team.
