Still without shining, but with much better attitude than in the premiere against Venezuela, when it tied 0-0, the Colombian women's team beat Paraguay 4-1, in its second presentation in the Copa América Ecuador 2025.
The tricolor improved a lot and from the beginning of the game he tried to put conditions. He achieved the three points thanks to two annotations from Linda Caicedo and one by Mayra Ramírez, who although they are not at their usual level, make a difference, as they do in their clubs, Real Madrid and Chelsea, respectively.
The team led by Angelo Marsiglia later sealed the victory with a bit of the figure of the game, midfielder Leicy Santos.
It was not a simple triumph, but it was necessary to continue aspiring to advance to the semifinals, to ensure quota to Pan American Games of Asunción 2027, fight ticket to the 2028 Olympics and look for the continental title.
Paraguay proposed little. He dedicated himself to defending and counterattack, which hindered the work of Colombians, led in attack by a brilliant Leicy Santos. Gone was always safe by archera Katherine Tapia, who responded the few times she was demanded.
Linda Caicedo put Colombia very early, but Paraguay tied in the next play. Already in the Mayra complement he put the 2-1 and this time the Guarani reacted unsuccessfully, because Katherine Tapia denied them the annotation in the only two danger actions they created.
Then Linda Caicedo expanded the difference and already in discount time Leicy Santos sealed the 4-1 that leaves Colombia third in the table, with four points. Brazil is a leader with six units in two games and Venezuela second, with the same four points as Colombia with one more match, but better goal difference, 4 to 3.
