Linda Caicedo was once again the star of the Colombian U-20 women’s team, but Sinthia Cabezas and Luisa Agudelo also shone to beat South Korea and get the team into the quarterfinals of the World Cup, awaiting France or the Netherlands. This is the individual analysis of Colombia’s performance:
According to the criteria of
Luisa Agudelo: With two important saves, one in the first half and one in the second, she made her presence felt and continues to keep a clean sheet. She is increasingly more confident and mature, despite being only 17 years old. Seven points.
