The Ciego de Avila provincial team has won the 99th Cuban National Soccer Championship, after they bet Cienfuegos 1-0 on Thursday.
 
Striker Angel Rodriguez managed to score his seventh goal of the tournament in the 31st minute.
Ciego de Avila’s win, along with the 1-1 draw between the defending champion Villa Clara and Guantanamo, allowed the first ones to start their celebrations with two days in advance.

Alberto Gomez opened the score for Guantanamo just two minutes after the kick off, but seven minutes later, Yoandir Puga evened the game with his eleventh goal of the tournament.

The last time Ciego de Avila had won a national crown was during the 2009-2010 season.
