In a thrilling CONCACAF Gold Cup 2025 Group C match between Guadeloupe and Guatemala, Rubio Rubín once again proved to be a key player for his national side. The Guatemalan forward found the back of the net, extending his team's lead and contributing significantly to their victory over Guadeloupe.

The match, held on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, saw Guatemala facing a Guadeloupe team desperate for a win to keep their hopes of reaching the quarterfinals alive. Guatemala, having secured a win against Jamaica but suffering a defeat to Panama, also needed a victory to bolster their chances of advancing in the tournament.

The game began with both teams displaying attacking intent. Guatemala drew first blood, with José Carlos Pinto converting a penalty in the 13th minute, putting his team ahead 1-0. Guatemala continued to press and increased their lead in the 29th minute. Rubio Rubín played a crucial role, linking up effectively with Olger Escobar, who calmly slotted the ball into the bottom left corner, making it 2-0. Guatemala further extended their lead to 3-0 in the 36th minute when Olger Escobar scored again, this time after receiving a clever pass from Stheven Robles.

Guadeloupe showed resilience in the second half, with Ange-Freddy Plumain scoring from the penalty spot in the 50th minute, reducing the deficit to 3-1. However, Guatemala responded emphatically in the 70th minute. Rudy Muñoz made a fantastic run down the flank and delivered a dangerous cross into the box. Rubio Rubín met the cross in stride and, with a composed touch off his chest, guided the ball past the keeper and into the net. This clever finish extended Guatemala's lead to 3-1.

Guadeloupe refused to give up and scored again in the 78th minute, with Matthias Phaeton unleashing a thunderous shot into the top corner, making it 3-2. Despite their efforts, Guadeloupe could not find an equalizer, and Guatemala held on to secure a crucial 3-2 victory.

Rubio Rubín's goal in the 70th minute not only extended Guatemala's lead but also showcased his composure and technical ability in a crucial moment of the match. His contribution was vital in securing the win for Guatemala, boosting their chances of progressing to the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2025.
