By Rubén Morales Iglesias: Mi Gente advanced to the semifinals of the Orange Walk Football Association 2024-2025 1st Division Closing Championship after edging San Estevan Soccer Team on a 4-3 aggregate, despite a 3-2 loss in the second leg at Louisiana Football Field.

Mi Gente entered the match with a comfortable 2-0 advantage from the first leg but had to withstand a strong fight from San Estevan, who sought to overturn the deficit.

Ramiro Ramirez put Mi Gente ahead early in the 9th minute, but San Estevan responded with determination. Aldair Chan equalized in the 41st minute, setting up an intense battle. Jared Pott then gave San Estevan a 2-1 lead with his strike in the 73rd minute, but Henry Rodney quickly leveled the match at 2-2 with a goal in the 74th minute.

With time running out, Aldair Chan struck again in the 89th minute to secure San Estevan the victory, but it wasn’t enough to advance. Mi Gente’s first-leg win proved decisive, as they moved into the semifinals to face Yo Creek United on May 4 at 3:00 p.m.
