Spain opened this Wednesday with a 1-0 victory against Colombia in the U-17 Women’s World Cup, on a day in which China beat Mexico 1-2, Canada and France tied (1-1) and Japan thrashed Tanzania 4-0.

For Colombia the balance is negative, not only because of the defeat, although the goal only came until the 84th minute, but because of the alarm that there is now for the player Linda Caycedoteam figure.

What happened to Linda?

Linda suffered a blow in the 50th minute of the second half that left her sore in her left knee, so much so that she couldn’t help crying.

Caicedo was treated off the field and his substitution was expected, but finally he remained. The DT chose to let her finish the game.

However, she was seen to limp and additionally took more hits in the match. Now there is great expectation for her recovery for the team’s second game in the World Cup.

At the end of the game, Linda, heartbroken, spoke of the defeat and her physical effort. “I have to run to the last for my National Team… my team feels supported and that despite any blow I will be there for them. Let’s think about what’s coming
it was known that it was going to be a brown like that, but we have to continue,” said Win Sports.

“We can’t get into a comfort zone, we lose and football is to win. We have to continue and hope to get back up. There are two left to win,” he added.

Colombia faces China on Saturday, in its second group match at the U17 World Cup.
