It was the team's tenth game since Angelo Marsiglia took over the team, replacing Nelson Abadía. The balance is five wins, two draws and three losses (two against the United States and one against Brazil). Colombia scored 13 goals and conceded 7.
This Tuesday, Marsiglia completely changed the team. None of those who started in the 1-0 victory against Mexico on Saturday appeared as a starter to face Guatemala.
That alternate team struggled to score and went into halftime scoreless. The entry of several of the starters in the second stage allowed Colombia to take advantage on the scoreboard.

At 30 minutes into the second stage, Mayra Ramírez shook off a streak of 14 games without being able to score with the National Team and scored the second.
In the 88th minute, Catalina Usme continued to increase her legend and scored Colombia's third goal. It was the 56th score, confirming herself as the team's all-time scorer.

It is worth remembering that on this double date, Marsiglia could not count on two of his main figures due to injury: Linda Caicedo, the star player of Real Madrid, and Leicy Santos, who will soon move from Atlético de Madrid to the Washington Spirit, of the American league.
The Colombian group in Paris 2024
Colombia was in group A of the Olympic women's soccer tournament, along with the local team, France; Canada, winner of gold in Tokyo 2020, and New Zealand.
Marsiglia's team will debut on July 25 against the French (2 in the afternoon, Colombia time). Three days later they will face New Zealand (10 in the morning), while on July 31 they will close the group stage against Canada (2 pm). The three games will be at the Stade de Lyon.
The first two in each group, plus the two best third parties, advance to the quarterfinals. It should be remembered that the women's Olympic tournament only has 12 teams competing.
Women's soccer is the only team sport in which Colombia will be represented in Paris 2024.
