Key Guatemala player to watch: Arquimides Ordoñez
The forward plays his club football for Major League Soccer club FC Cincinnati, and was born in the USA, playing for Cincinnati 2 before progressing to the first string. Ordoñez has 5 goals at U-20 level on the international stage and a goal in the MLS this season.
Keeping him off the score sheet and away from goal will be vital to stopping Guatemala’s impressive offense as they look to qualify out of the group for the first time since 2011.
