Guatemala and Cuba faced off on Tuesday, June 27th, in Fort Lauderdale. Both teams struggled in the first half, knocking off very few shots on goal. At 45’+1’, Guatemala’s Carlos Mejía drew a foul in the penalty box. Darwin Lom stepped in for the shot, striking the ball at the bottom-right corner, yet he was met with a save by Cuba’s Raiko Arozarena. Halftime arrived nil-nil. At 48’, Guatemala’s Lom redeemed himself for his missed PK as he struck the net from the right side of the box for the first goal of the match. Guatemala’s Nicholas Hagen made an impeccable save at 62’ to prevent Cuba from leveling the score. Through nine minutes of added time, Guatemala held on to win the match 1-0.

Cubans in Miam have to be some of the most idiotic people. Not supporting their so called country teams because of Politics.
Guatemala needs individual plays, long precise passing with space and precise passing on offense. Defense is not bad.
Lo mejor del juego Randy Arozarena en la porteria
I suppory Guatemala due to the all mexcian coaching team show em how its done
Mirando a guadalupe y canada, guatemala se queda
Hagen is a beast!
Most Cubans in Miami are pre-Castro era Cubans and their children. Those Cubans and Cuban-Americans in Miami have become Americanized. They follow classic American sports like baseball, American football and basketball. Also, Since baseball and boxing were the top sports in Cuba before Castro, the passion for those sports lingers among them. But, the real key to the lack of Cuban attendance is that the Cubans that left Cuba because of Castro do not support Cuban sports at any level. They reject and detest today’s Cuba. In fact, promoting a match involving Cuba to Miamians can become dangerous to the promoters and others involved. So, they don’t promote such things in Miami that much. So, the Cubans that would be most likely to attend a game like this would be those raised under the Castro regime. You might also see a rare breed of Cuban or Cuban-American who is an anti-communist die-hard soccer fan (including ex-soccer-players) who wants to see Cuba free and just wants Cuba to win despite their disdain for the current regime.
It wasn’t a penalty thats why he missed facking clowns 🤡
The reason why there weren’t that many Cuban fans there (despite the game being held in Fort Lauderdale…just half an hour from Miami) is that most Cubans in Miami are pre-Castro era Cubans and their children. Those Cubans and Cuban-Americans in Miami have become Americanized. They follow classic American sports like baseball, American football and basketball. Also, Since baseball and boxing were the top sports in Cuba before Castro, the passion for those sports lingers among them. But, the real key to the lack of Cuban attendance is that the Cubans that left Cuba because of Castro do not support Cuban sports at any level. They reject and detest today’s Cuba. In fact, promoting a match involving Cuba to Miamians can become dangerous to the promoters and others involved. So, they don’t promote such things in Miami that much. So, the Cubans that would be most likely to attend a game like this would be those raised under the Castro regime. You might also see a VERY RARE breed of Cuban or Cuban-American who is an anti-communist but still loves Cuba, is a die-hard soccer fan (including ex-soccer-players) who wants to see Cuba free and just wants Cuba to win.
Soy mexicano y la verdad esta copa me da tristeza, me gustaría ver a Mexico competir con equipos verdaderos que sean potencia y no ver estos partidos moleros, Mexico debe golear a todos incluyendo canada y USA para que se le pueda creer que es potencia en Norteamérica.
Esa camisa de Guatemala es una hermosura …saludos desde Mexico
If 🇬🇹 beats Canada. We're gonna celebrate like we won the world cup.
I WAS THERE !
The Cubans are so pathetic when it comes to soccer. Shame on Guatemala for only scoring 1 goal against a joke of a team.
That bycicle kick came out of nowhere
Fox needs to learn hot to do highlights
Man it would have been 3-0 , the Cuban goal keeper was excellent and definitely deserved the motm
image how bad the teams were that Cuba beat to qualify for the gold cup
Guatemala 🇬🇹🇬🇹
Mendez Laing showing who is the boss 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪 Vamos Guateeeee 🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹
I work around Guatemalan people
Friendly working people
The Gmalans deserve this win
Guatemala showing much improvement under Tena but they need to finish. Mendez Liang looks like the future of Guatemala. This tournament rn should lay the groundwork for a (hopeful) WC qualification once qualifiers start next year. We played well in the Nations League and seems to be carrying into the Gold Cup. Patience my Chapines 🇬🇹🙏
Guatemala 🫡🇬🇹♥️
Felicidades a Guatemala soy mexicana y meda gusto que le ganará a Cuba
Both teams well-known for their football dominance.
the cuban player skying that one was so unserious
Vamos Guate!! 🇬🇹🇬🇹❤❤
I ain’t see who got man of the match but for me it should be that Cuban gk
Im Surprised Guatemala played this well
Good for Guatemala but they missed too many opportunities including the panalty kick. They canno miss those chances against Canada.
Both teams actually struck the ball well.
Son unos mojones 🤣
