Hard grip
For its part, the coffee team offered its worst version in the tournament, which it attended as a guest with the aim of preparing for the Paris Olympic Games.

This early goal unleashed nerves in the South American defense, which conceded numerous facilities until the United States extended the lead in the 22nd minute, with a header assist from the veteran Alex Morgan for the cross finish of Jenna Nightswonger.
Precisely, Morgan had an exchange of words with the Colombian Catalina Usme, which went viral on social networks.
“I don't even know what was said or what he did. I don't even know how I got a yellow card. But I think that helped cheer my team up a little bit, which was the important point,” Morgan said of the matchup.
And she added: “Colombia is a very aggressive team, very physical. They are always trying to stop the game, commit fouls, and we were ready to play. We accepted the challenge. Obviously, after the loss against Mexico, we were ready for the battle , so I think you guys saw a pretty good win from this team.”
