The Women’s Colombia National Team cannot be lamenting the tie that allowed against Argentina (with a goal in the 92nd minute), in the South American U-17.
This Friday already has its second challenge in group A, against Venezuela, in Manizales (7 PM, with Caracol TV and RCN HD2, DSports and Ditu), a match in which the team cannot sin again due to lack of concentration.
Venezuela, another complicated rival for Colombia in the South American
It will not be a simple match because Venezuela has been building its prestige in the category, for something it is the second most winning country in the continent, behind Brazil, with two titles.
The Venezuelan also debuted with 2-2 draw in their duel against Chile. So group A is very even. Colombia, with its host status, must impose conditions not to give advantages in this area.

The selection, directed by Carlos Paniagua, had moments of deconcentration in his debut in the tournament, and as usual in the Colombia teams, they slept in the final moments and that is why they let out what seemed like a first victory. So the issue of concentration is today priority for soccer players.
“We know that we have to improve many things and we are going to improve, they are punctual, individual, small. We were safe, although a little nervous about the debut. We can do things better and we have other games to face,” said the goalkeeper and captain, Isabella Tejada. “We think about that, we are going to train strongly to correct,” added the goalkeeper.
The motivation is high. The player Camila Cortés said: “We are going to get much better to the next game … we have to recover well, stay in the best way to get well against Venezuela. Correct errors.”
