End of the road. The Colombian women’s team fell 3-0 to the United States in the quarterfinals of the Women’s Gold Cup.
Despite the good campaign that the tricolor was having in this tournament that functioned as preparation for the Olympic Games, the national team could not prevail against the North Americans and continues with a negative streak against this team. The United States and Colombia have met thirteen times with 11 losses for the South Americans and two draws.
The United States will face Olympic champion Canada in the semifinals, while Brazil will look to beat Mexico.
“We have to continue working. I love this team. We knew that we had a tough opponent and that we couldn’t make the mistakes we made. It’s part of continuing to grow. I want to thank all the people who continue to believe in this team. Now we are going to raise our heads because the Olympic Games are coming up,” said Catalina Usme, through tears.
“They are tears of love for them. This is a family. We all fail. This is everyone’s job. Taking responsibility is very easy, but we are going to assume it. “I am confident that we will arrive at the Olympic Games very well prepared to compete for that podium,” she added.
How was the match?
Colombia took the field with the intention of playing against the United States. However, the North Americans won the ball quickly, while the tricolor looked confused and fragile in defense.
Around the 10th minute, when those led by Ángelo Marsiglia touched the ball in their field, Alex Morgan came alive and caught a ball that generated a penalty after an infraction by Jorelyn Carabalí in the area. The captain of the United States, Lindsey Horan, took the ball and charged close to the left post of Natalia Sepúlveda, who launched herself to the other side. 1-0.
The North Americans, four-time world champions, did not give Colombia any space. They drowned them! The hosts continued to arrive with ease, while the tricolor defense tried to play, but seemed confused in defense. In the 21st minute, the United States took a long free kick and after a rebound in the area, left back Jenna Nighswonger scored with a left footed shot. 2-0.
Colombia breathed and began to gain confidence in attack. Linda Caicedo and Catalina Usme began to threaten the United States goal, but at the best moment… the tricolor received the third. The Americans played quickly on the right and Jaedyn Shaw scored the third. In the final minutes of the first half, the goal saved Colombia from the United States’ fourth goal.
In the second half, things didn’t change much. Colombia continued trying for the goal. He arrived on several occasions, but was not clear when defining. The United States slowed down and despite having several matches against the Colombian goal, they could not reach the fourth goal either.
