Cuba vs Nicaragua in UNCAF U-20 semifinals

Guatemala City, July 22 (PL) - The teams of Cuba, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Nicaragua will face each other this Friday in the semifinals of the U-20 futsal tournament.

The fight for a place in the final will begin at 14:30, local time, with the match Cuba vs. Nicaragua (first place in group B against second place in group A) at the Domo Polideportivo de la zona 13.

The Caribbeans reached this phase after defeating El Salvador, 8-3, last Tuesday, and a day later Costa Rica (4-3) with Alexis Sosa, Leonel Tamayo, Asael Herrera and Cristian Morejon playing the leading roles.

In the second hour, the action will be between the host team, Guatemala, and the Costa Ricans (first in group A and second in group B).

The nationals made their debut last Monday and had as their rival the Costa Rican team, which they defeated four goals to zero.

In the second matchday, however, they struggled to beat the Mexicans, so much so that they ended tied at three goals.

The Blue and White came from less to more to rescue the match, because minutes before the end of the first half they were two goals ahead of their rivals.

The team coached by Estuardo de León finally reacted in the second half and came from behind thanks to goals by César Ortega and a brace by Brandon Melgar.

In the opinion of experts, they again showed inaccuracies, lack of concentration on defense and lack of coordination on the court, aspects that need to be ironed out if they aspire to be on the podium of the competition.

This Friday, El Salvador and Mexico will also face each other to define positions five and six of the tournament organized by the Central American Football Union.

Tomorrow the schedule includes the duels for third place and the definition of the regional champion.
