Andres Flores scored twice to lead El Salvador over Cuba 4-0 Saturday in the qualifying for the men's Olympic soccer tournament.
El Salvador plays the United States on Monday, and the top two teams in the group advance to the semifinals of North and Central America and the Caribbean. The semifinal winners on March 31 qualify for London.
Lester Blanco put El Salvador ahead in the fourth minute. Cuban captain Carlos Domingo Francisco was ejected in the 49th for his second yellow card, assessed after he stepped on Blanco's calf. Flores scored four minutes later off a pass from Isidro Gutierrez. Richard Menjivar scored in the 69th minute, and Flores got his second goal in the 80th minute just an El Salvador shot clanked off the crossbar.
