MIAMI – The 2025 Concacaf Caribbean Cup continues with Moca FC hosting SV Robinhood in Group A on Tuesday at Estadio Moca 85 in Moca, Dominican Republic.

This will be the third meeting between the two clubs after they faced off in the Semifinals of the 2023 edition. The series is split with each team recording one win.

Moca FC is coming off a 2-1 victory over Universidad O&M FC. The result helped snap a five-game losing streak and end a run of three straight scoreless away matches. Gustavo Ascona scored, making it his 8th goal in tournament history to tie for 2nd place on the all-time Caribbean Cup scoring list.

SV Robinhood is seeking its first win of the campaign as they have a draw and two losses so far. The Surinamese club is 3-1 all-time against Dominican opposition.

A victory is mandatory for Moca’s hopes of a top two finish and the accompanying Semifinals berth. Robinhood will seek to exit the tournament with a victory, as it is unable to advance to the Knockout Stage.
