Max Steelman was a standout for Surf throughout the tournament. Eli Cook and Diego Nolazco scored the goals for Legends in the final.

The local team was the defending champions in the age group. Caedon Cox also scored for Pros in the title game. He was the key player in the attack during the week with clutch goals in the group play games and knock-out round games. Luke Parker had the assist on Cox’s goal.

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">🥳</span> Party Time: El Salvador National Team<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p class="p1">El Salvador brought the energy to the sidelines and on the field to Dallas Cup. If El Salvador was playing, you knew it because the sidelines were electric. On the field, Gerson Perez’s squad delivered with some quality goals and promising play. El Salvador finished as runners-up at the event to Panama. Hopefully both squads will be back in the future to the competition.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
