The Albiceleste representative could not reach the first goal set at the Alfonso López stadium of qualifying for the World Cup Australia-New Zealand 2023although on Friday he will have a second chance to win the place in the match for third place in the continental event.
The extreme youth Linda Caycedo (St. 18m.) gave the triumph and passport to the ecumenical contest to the “coffee grower” cast, which will settle the final of the continent against the winner of the duel that the teams from Brazil and Paraguay will assume tomorrow.
Argentina, which was directed by Sebastian Gomez (assistant to the main DT German Portanovawho did not sit on the substitute bench due to being suspended), ended with ten players as a result of the red card received by the side Gabriela Chavez (St. 28m.), for a double warning.
The victory of the Colombian team does not allow further discussion, because in the context of an even match and with too many inaccuracies, those led by Nelson Abbey they designed better performance to deserve the advantage.
During the 45m. Initially, the local team exercised a slight predominance, based on the mobility of the Caicedo girl (17 years old) and the strategic location of leicy santoswho surprised with his ability to filter passes that bothered the Albiceleste defense.
After an opening quarter of an hour of even development, the Colombian National Team decided to play massively in the opposite field, with an Argentine team that was forced to withdraw and bet on the imbalance of Estefanía Banini on the left as the only offensive card.
The Atlético de Madrid player had the only clear chance to score, at 16m., when she rehearsed a bitten half-turn that allowed a good containment of Catherine Perezafter a good overflow of Yamila Rodriguez.
The local cast replied with two very clear chances: over 32m., Saints enabled Caicedo and the girl from Deportivo Cali finished off weakly, which allowed goalkeeper Vanina Correa to contain with her feet.
And about 37m., in the most propitious, Mayra Ramirez she broke the offside law, escaped to the right and when she entered the area she hit a faulty shot that hit the crossbar, after the Argentine defenders had already been snubbed.
In the second period, the tone did not change much and the local team reached the opening of the board, after a faulty rejection of Augustine Barroso. Front Caicedo moved to the left, leaving on the way Chavez and executed a cross shot that overcame the resistance of the Rosario goalkeeper Belt.
The goal hit the structure of a team that seemed prepared for 90 minutes to go against and not take the initiative as a premise. To make matters worse, at 28m., Chavez he saw the red card for a new infraction and the task of equalizing became practically a chimera.
In the final stretch, the late changes implemented from the Argentine bench tried to instil an improvement in the performance, although the possibility of equality depended exclusively on some well-executed stopped ball.
The Colombian goalkeeper Catherine Perez did not show major shortcomings in the centers that came to him and thus the chances of the Argentina they were consumed
