Guantanamo, May 22 (Jit) - The Cuban field field hockey team led by Hilario Yera beat the Manquehue club team 11-0 and won undefeated the Rudi Westendarp Cup of that sport, held in Santiago de Chile. 

"Undoubtedly, one of the most outstanding players was goalkeeper Miguel Aroche, who was outstanding in not allowing any goals," Alex Hernández, president of the Cuban federation of this sport, told JIT from the capital of the southern country.

"The defenders also did their job, as Deni Rodríguez, Richard Somonte, Leodisbel Cervantes and the experienced Darian Varelo did not allow the opposing attackers any freedom," he added.

"Yasmany Gutiérrez opened the scoring early and from then on -practically- there was only one team on the field, and even the attacking attempts they made were effectively neutralized by our defenders", he added.

Gutiérrez was accompanied by forward Manuel Consuegra with three goals, one in penalty corner and two in set pieces; Oscar Calderón and Jeanny Vera, each with two goals in set pieces; Geovanny Nenínger (1) and Freddy Duany (1) in set pieces, and Darian Valero (1) in penalty stroke. The Cubans beat the hosts three times and the Brazilian national team once.

"This Monday we will begin matches with the senior and youth teams of Chile, which obviously increases the rigor," expressed the also director of the Antonio Maceo National Field Hockey School, located in the capital municipality of Boyeros.

"We will play at night at the National Lawn Hockey Stadium, which will be inaugurated in 2022 and will host the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago," concluded the executive.
