On Thursday, goalkeeper Rafa Diaz was in command of El Tri’s Semifinal showdown against top-seeded El Paso Locomotive FC – playing as Argentina. Diaz and Mexico played the top team tough but in the 77th minute, a Giovani Lo Celso header from close range granted Lionel Messi and company the victory.
The result on Thursday afternoon meant Republic FC was a lock for Friday’s Third Place fixture against Charleston Battery’s Greece, a team that SRFC played and defeated weeks before during the Indomitable Club’s opening Division B campaign. Barahona had the controller in-hand the first time around for his sides’ 3-2 Semifinal win over Greece on May 14 and a brilliant Barahona had Mexico flying on all cylinders.
During the first meeting, goals from Raul Jimenez, Jesus Corona and Andres Guadrado sealed the complete victory for Republic FC and solidified a spot in the Division B finals. Ioannis Fetfatzidis and Dimitris Limnios both netted impressive strikes to keep Greece in the game the last time out and both playmakers will be looking to break through the Mexican back line this afternoon meaning goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa will need to be on his toes for the second straight match – having made a handful of remarkable saves against Argentina yesterday.
