Cuba\u2019s under-20 team won again in Panama, where they are training for the qualifying match for the Central American and Caribbean Games in Santo Domingo 2026, against Jamaica on the 28th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This time, they managed to defeat a rival from the Professional Football League, the country\u2019s top division: the Metropolitan University of Education, Science and Technology Football Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A brace from Alien \u00c1guila, along with goals from Alexandro Makence and Deiby Borrell, secured a 4-3 victory against the UMCIT senior team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Cubans conceded a goal as early as the 6th minute, but by the 13th minute, they had already equalized with \u00c1guila\u2019s first goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the 25th minute, the talented player from Villa Clara scored his second, putting the Cubans ahead. They allowed the equalizer and then regained the lead before halftime with a goal from Alexandro Makence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the second half, they extended their advantage with a goal from the young midfielder Deiby Borrell, a key player for the team that recently qualified for the 2026 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Qatar, and who also captains the squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before the end, the home team pulled one back, but they didn\u2019t have enough time to equalize and the match ended with a victory for Pedro Pablo Pereira\u2019s team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The team will continue training in the isthmus until the 25th, when they return to Cuba for the crucial match against the Reggae Boyz, and a fifth friendly match is planned to make the most of the preparatory trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
