That was when the goal came and it was a great goal, in the best style of Gabriela Rodríguez who from outside the area took a powerful and high shot that the goalkeeper could not contain, despite her stretch, making it 1-0 in 26 minutes. This was Gabriela’s seventh goal in the championship.
In the second half, Colombia controlled the game, had control and possession, but due to a defensive oversight, Argentina found the tie, with a score from Acuña, in the 62nd minute.
