The game started badly for the Colombian National Team with the injury of Brenda Cardona in the first half. The national team suffered the loss of the midfielder and began to lose ground against a Brazilian team that hit two balls against the post.
Colombia knew how to handle its rival’s pressure well, overcame the difficult moment and struck when it was necessary. In the 45th minute, the National Team won a penalty after a foul by Sofía Couto, who threw herself to the ground and knocked down the Colombian.
Nikol Rojas was in charge of the execution and with a cross and accurate left-footed shot, she made the national team celebrate as they went into the break with a 1-0 lead on the scoreboard.
The plan was working perfectly, and the second came in the second half after a long free kick that was difficult for the Brazilian goalkeeper, who did not clear the ball and left it to Maithé López who pushed her under the goal.
However, the National Team lost concentration and Brazil charged dearly. In the 61st minute came the goal from forward and captain Juju, a minute later Brazil tied thanks to Myka’s goal.
Colombia, which had qualified for the U-17 Women’s World Cup in its pocket, missed a golden opportunity in less than two minutes and postponed its qualification to the last day.
With 2-2, the National Team is in the second box, partially in the final home run table, with 2 points, awaiting the result of Ecuador vs. Paraguay. For its part, Brazil secured its place in the World Cup with the draw.
The final challenge for the team led by Carlos Paniagua will be next Sunday at the closing of the South American U-17 when they will face Ecuador.
