The defeat against Brazil took away Colombia’s ability to depend on itself to win the Women’s U-20 South American Championship in Ecuador. However, the team remains excited about fighting for the title.
Those led by Carlos Paniagua will play their fourth game of the final hexagonal this Thursday, against Argentina, in Guayaquil (6:30 pm, with DSports TV and HD2 signals from Caracol and RCN).
After winning their first six games, four in the first phase and two in the hexagonal, Monday’s 1-0 loss makes Colombia wait for an adverse result from Brazil, which, in the last game of this Thursday’s schedule, will face to Venezuela (9 pm). Before, at 4 pm, Peru and Paraguay will play.

“We’re going to the last minute, until Sunday, to win the six points and wait for what happens on the hexagonal dates,” added the coach. It is worth remembering that Colombia will close the South American tournament on Sunday, against Paraguay.
The Colombian coach recognized the progress of his team and believes that the distances with Brazil, the great power of women’s soccer in South America, are increasingly smaller.
