The Colombia Women’s Senior National Team closed its participation in the third day of the CONMEBOL Liga Evolución with a 1-1 draw, after facing Bolivia this Friday, September 28 at the Hernando Siles stadium in La Paz.

The match was characterized by intensity and opportunities on both sides, although the national team saw how luck was not on their side in the first half.

Colombia tried to take the lead in the opening minutes, but the plays of Valerin Loboa and Yiirleides Quejada, the latter after a cross from Daniela Arias, were annulled by the refereeing body due to an offside position.

The situation became complicated at the beginning of the second half. The Bolivian team, ‘La Verde’, came out with high pressure and managed to open the scoring in the 46th minute.
