Colombia women's team lost its undefeated record in the U-20 when it fell against Brazil

Colombia started well, with good feelings, without attacking much, without reaching much, but well stopped, nullifying the Brazilian attack. But that work was broken as the minutes passed.

Brazil created the best scoring opportunities, such as a tremendous shot that hit the crossbar when the goalkeeper Luisa Agudelo I was already defeated.

Until minute 34 of the first half, all Colombian resistance fell. Brazil found the goal in aerial play and a header alone from the player Rebeca, who placed the ball and beat the goalkeeper.

In the second half, Colombia had the intention of reacting and going for the tie, but that meant risking a lot against a devastating attacking team.

Colombia, which had already beaten Brazil in the group stage, thought it could repeat the dose, but the minutes passed and the scoring opportunities were not generated. The figures of Colombia, such as Gabriela Rodríguez and Maithe López They were well canceled.

Colombia gradually got closer, gaining rebounds, without having control of the game and rather trying to ensure that Brazil did not find the second goal. In fact, in that complementary part the emotions were due to approaches by the Brazilians that put the Colombian goal at risk. In the 81st minute, goalkeeper Agudelo had to push herself to avoid the goal with a very good save from a corner, on a header from the Brazilians after a corner kick. Once again the aerial game put the Colombian team in trouble.

Colombia was close to a tie in a shot María José Álvarez that they took him out near the goal line.

Colombia could not reach a tie, it still has 6 points and next Thursday it will face Argentina.
