At minute 74, Linda Caicedo took advantage of Mexico’s defensive error to anticipate her marker after the ball passed over her and after the ball she defined it over the goalkeeper Cota who could barely follow her with her eyes. Third goal for the ’11’ of Colombia that matched the American Charlotte Kohler and the German Loreen Bender.
The reference of the Colombian National Team had already entered history after her double against China. Now, against Mexico, she added one more score to closely follow the fight to be the top scorer in the competition. The rivals that she has are still in competition.
Although with 9 minutes to go, Linda had the misfortune that Soto’s shot from Mexico hit her in the leg and went wide for discount. Colombia was smart to sustain the victory and advance as first in Group C, rival awaits after the definition of D.
