Unfortunately, Medhi Lina scored an own goal at the 70th minute. The match before that was played against the USA at home, which ended in a 0-2 victory for the USA. Two yellow cards were shown during that game as well.

Cuba:

They currently hold the fourth place in the standings out of 4 teams. They are coached by Pablo Elier Sanchez. The team is in poor form. They struggle to find a balance between defense and attack, resulting in a high number of goals conceded. Let's look at their recent statistics:

The match was not an easy one in terms of fouls, as 8 yellow cards were shown. The match before that was against Uruguay, which ended in a 2-0 defeat for Cuba.
