The Colombian U-17 Women’s Team achieved an important victory as a visitor after winning by the slightest difference against its counterpart from Ecuador.

From the opening whistle, the coffee team took the field with the intention of imposing their conditions and dominating possession, although they found themselves against a combative local team that managed to balance the actions and dispute control of the ball for much of the first half.

The imbalance on the scoreboard came after 33 minutes of play thanks to an accurate definition by Maura Henao, who capitalized on the offensive options to make it 1-0 in favor of our team.

With this partial advantage, those led by the national coaching staff managed the timing of the match and went to half-time with the peace of mind of leading the result.

In the complementary stage, the Ecuadorian team advanced its lines and insistently sought the tying goal to rescue a point in front of its home crowd.

For this commitment, the national team presented a stellar roster made up of Emily Ortega in goal, supported in the defensive zone by Ana Marín, Juana Flórez, Mariana Rodríguez and Natalia Torres.

The midfield was led by Juanita Parga, Susana Sánchez and Eidy Ruiz, while the attacking front had the mobility of Julieth Garay, the effectiveness of Maura Henao and the support of Dayana Torres.
