2022 Dallas Cup presented by Coca-Cola – 19U Gordon Jago Super Group Semifinals Following the girls’ finals, the first of two 19U Gordon Jago Super Group semifinal matches kicked off between the U20 Panama National Team and Mexico’s CF Monterrey. Rafael Mosquera tacked on the first goal of the match for the Panamanian side with a crafty, far-post finish in the 9th minute. In the 22nd minute, Omar Alba scored a wondergoal from well outside the box to put Los Canaleros up 2-0. The Mexican side was far from out of the match though. On the stroke of halftime, Victor Lopez pulled a goal back from the penalty spot to make the score 2-1 at the break. In the 72nd minute, Rayados’ Edgar Castro scored the equalizing goal, and the game was eventually sent into two ten-minute extra time periods to determine which side would advance to the final. In the 102nd minute, Ricardo Gorday made a dazzling solo effort and scored the go-ahead goal to send the U20 Panama National Team to Sunday’s Gordon Jago Super Group final.
