Elizondo-Lopez plays for the Houston Rangers U15 team that has NEFC, RSL Arizona and SSA Swarm as their opponents in Group C. He’s not as tall or long as many would expect for an elite goalkeeper, but he is extremely agile and technical and just as capable of performing big-time saves between the posts. Another of Elinzondo-Lopez’s strengths in goal is the high level of safety and consistency of his game, as he rarely gives up rebounds when catching shots and claiming crosses. The goalkeeper also has good quality with his feet and distributes the ball very well out of the back.

Elizondo-Lopez had a solid shift in goal and played a big role in keeping the Hornets scoreless for almost the entire match. The goalkeeper did well when catching crosses in the box and also made some difficult saves, most notably one in a shot from outside the box in the second half that was going into the upper corner. Elizondo-Lopez also stood out for quickly putting the ball back in play after making saves and, at times, starting quick transition plays from his team. He could probably have done a little bit better in the goal he conceded, but Castanon’s shot was very high and fired from a difficult spot.

Elizondo-Lopez was is goal for the Houston Rangers team that was eliminated in the silver semifinals of the U15 Supergroup, completing their campaign in the event with one win, two losses and two ties. The Rangers, however, were very solid defensively, conceding only two goals in five matches, and their goalkeeper was one of the reasons for their solidness. Very technical and agile, Elizondo-Lopez is very difficult to score on, using the right techniques to deal with shots and doing a good job of using his legs to make stops in 1v1 plays. The goalkeeper also has solid quality on the ball, distributing it efficiently from the back and finding teammates well upfield with nice long passes.
