From the beginning of the match, both teams showed their solid defense, creating equal scoring situations on the field, but without getting results.
In the second half, the Dominican team maintained their tactical order in defense, keeping their firmness and standing out, despite having no results in their efforts to break the tie.
In the 57th minute, the referees disallowed a goal by Peter Gonzalez, which put the Dominican team ahead.
âI think Peter’s goal is absolutely legal, and although we ended up tying, he is not going to the showers happy,â said Ibai GĂłmez, technical director after the game.
For the Dominican Olympic Committee as a country, it is a historic milestone to have the debut of soccer in the Olympic Games.
The Dominican Republic will face the Spanish national team next Saturday 27th, starting at 3:00 p.m. French time (9:00 a.m. Dominican Republic time).
