The Mahaut Soca Strikers delivered a commanding performance on the road, defeating Promex Harlem United SC 3–1 in a Liga Dominicana de Fútbol encounter at the Estadio de la Liga on July 12, 2026. The result pushed the Soca Strikers up the standings while leaving Harlem United searching for answers after a disappointing home defeat.

Match Overview

From the opening whistle, Mahaut Soca Strikers asserted their attacking intent. The visitors took an early lead in the 12th minute when winger Jean-Claude Roget slotted home a low cross from the right flank. Harlem United struggled to cope with the pace and movement of the Soca Strikers’ front line, and the pressure paid off again just before the half-hour mark. Midfielder Dwayne Peters doubled the advantage with a powerful strike from outside the box that left the home goalkeeper rooted to the spot.

Harlem United attempted to fight back before halftime, but their best chance—a close-range header from striker Luis Pimentel—was brilliantly saved by Mahaut keeper Andrés Castillo. The Soca Strikers carried a 2–0 lead into the break.

Second-Half Drama and Key Moments

The hosts emerged with renewed energy after the interval and pulled one back in the 58th minute. A corner kick was only partially cleared, and Carlos Henríquez pounced on the loose ball, smashing it into the net to make it 2–1. The goal gave Harlem United hope, and they pushed forward in search of an equalizer, leaving gaps at the back.

Mahaut Soca Strikers capitalized on that vulnerability in the 73rd minute. A swift counterattack saw Rogelio Santos release Kyle Thomasson down the left channel, and the forward calmly rounded the goalkeeper to restore the two-goal cushion at 3–1. Harlem United could not recover, and the Soca Strikers comfortably saw out the final minutes to secure all three points.
