The Colombian U-20 women’s team continues to fill the country with pride. This Thursday, April 18, on date 4 of the South American, he won again. On this occasion, the rival that suffered with the quality and high level of the ‘tricolor’ was Bolivia. And, at the Modelo Alberto Spencer Herrera stadium, the ‘coffee makers’ won 3-0with goals from Karla Viancha and a double from Gabriela Rodríguez.
From the outset, the national team took to the field with some variations. Technical director Carlos Paniagua decided to give minutes to some players who are not common, trusting them; and the classification was at stake. If they won, they would advance to the hexagonal. Understanding this, the national team held nothing back and gave everything on the field.
It was not easy to open the scoring and even less so because of the good interventions and saves by goalkeeper Alba Salazar, who excelled between the three posts. However, the pitcher went so far into the water, until it broke. Karla Viancha, in the 35th minute, put the icing on the cake for a good collective action, in which there was a series of passes that ‘drove’ the defense of the highland team.
Far from settling for that, the Colombian U-20 women’s team went for more. In this way, at 40′, Gabriela Rodríguez took advantage of a gross mistake in the rival’s defense. The goalkeeper and a defense got tangled up and left the goal served to the ’10’, who did not forgive. With the goal at his disposal, he only had to push the ball for the partial 2-0. The classification was caressed.
And there was no shortage of controversies. The 48th minute was played, when Ana Milé González received the ball, after a short corner kick. At that moment, she outlined herself and sent a cross to the ‘heart of the area’, where her teammate Karla Torres appeared, who she connected with a header to score. There was celebration, but it quickly faded. The line judge sanctioned out of place.

However, in the image it is clear that a Bolivian player qualified the number ’15’ of the Colombian U-20 Women’s Team and by a long shot. Rude ruling by the line judge that, fortunately for her, did not affect the final result. However, there were complaints and annoyance among the ‘cafeteros’ players and coaching staff. There was no longer time to ‘cry’ and we had to turn the page.
The ‘jewel of the day’ was missing. At 61′, a short corner kick was taken. There, Gabriela Rodríguez received and did the unexpected. When it was thought that she was going to send a cross, she created a space, outlined herself and took a beautiful shot from mid-range. The ball made an impressive curve and hit the corner for the final 3-0. Celebration and classification for the national team.
With this victory, The Colombian U-20 women’s team reached nine points, for a perfect score, after three games played. Let us remember that they beat Chile 2-0, in the debut, and 4-1 against Venezuela, in the second outing. Now, Brazil is coming, next Saturday, April 20, at 6:30 pm (Colombian time), at the Estadio Modelo Alberto Spencer Herrera stadium, for date 5.
