Argentina struck first
In this Sunday’s game, the Argentineans went ahead through midfielder Bravo, who capitalized on the failure of the Colombian defense that tied a knot and could not control a throw-in. That was the first and only arrival that the Albicelestes players managed to convert into a goal, with which they went into the break.
However, in the first half of the second half, Colombia managed to equalize through Catalina Usme, who scored her 37th goal with Colombian teams. Contrary to other shots, this time Usme accommodated the ball in a place that Vanina Correa could not reach, who had previously taken at least three balls that bore the seal of goal.
For the second half, both the coach of the Colombian team, Nelson Abadía, and that of Argentina, Germán Portanova, moved the bench but without managing to tip the balance in their favor. Elexa Bahr entered Colombia for Gisela Robledo, Lady Andrade for Lorena Bedoya and Angie Castañeda for Daniela Montoya.
