Cuba vs El Salvador | 2026 Concacaf Men's Under-20 Championship

Good afternoon, welcome in to the Estadio Universitario. A perfect day in Puebla as we're getting set for match day two. The ball rolls at the Estadio Universitario in Puebla. Group A underway. Just a minute ago, free kick now to try and test the Cuban goal for El Salvador. Five stacked on the penalty spot. Floated up towards the back stick. Good leap from Aguilar. Top of the bar and out. Catapulted to the edge of the area. Loose ball picked up by Cuban. Snapped in at the near post. Oculus looking chance. But Didier Reynoso. Pops free to him on the edge of the area. One touch to settle. And he smashes it into the near post. Through traffic. Past Olivera-Alegria. Quinones. Sizing up the defender as he moves into the area. Quinones to the penalty spot. Not cleared by El Salvador. Still alive. What a save with the rebound. There for Cuba to double the lead. They bounced so kindly as El Salvador just couldn't clear their lines. Alert to it inside the area was Aguilar. Denied the first time by Alegria. First half comes to a close in Puebla. The first match in Group A here at the CONCACAF Men's U20 Championship. Down 2-0. Making a couple changes at halftime. As away we go for the second half. They, of course, for Arnold. Just passed him on the penalty spot. Roque through traffic. Save by Zayas. Two subs trying to combine. Miranda handing it off to Roque. Roque great vision to spot Miranda by himself. Miranda twisting past the defender. Cross in. Oh, it's a good cross. Zayas, here's the shot. Arnold charging through. Arnold lays it off. Big chance. Rattled off the bar. Young generation of Cuban stars. This is into the attack. And it's smashed in for an emphatic third. All three points surely now with Cuba. El Salvador tried to fight back in the second half. That's a lovely ball in behind. Reynoso one-on-one. Kick save is fabulous from Alegria. The last act of the match is a fabulous Oliver-Alegria save. But in the end, it makes no difference. ♪♪♪
