Colombia returned to the U-17 Women’s World Cup to recover the title that escaped them two years ago in India against Spain. And it was precisely with the Iberians that they started losing back then. This Wednesday, a new story began in the Dominican Republic, the result improved without being ideal, this time against the Republic of Korea.
The first minutes were difficult and demanded of the goalkeeper Luisa Agudelo who responded in a very good way between the three posts. Colombia reacted and in the 27th minute, in a play on the right side, they found themselves opening the scoring with Ella Grace MartΓnez.

The joy was short-lived, 9 minutes later, a foul by Zarhay GonzΓ‘lez on Han Guk-Hee in the six-yard box awarded the penalty to Korea Republic. Casey Phar was in charge of executing it and matching the match.
The Asians were superior with 61% possession of the ball compared to the Colombians with 39% and little depth in the game.
The Colombian goalkeeper, Luisa Agudelo, had important interventions throughout the match, where she demonstrated that she is the most experienced player on the squad.

Those led by Carlos Paniagua are part of group B and with one point, they share second position with the Republic of Korea. Spain with three is first and the United States last without units.
Colombia’s next game will be next Saturday, October 19, against the North Americans. The two teams will look for a victory that brings them closer to qualifying for the quarterfinals, because a defeat would leave them eliminated early.
On Tuesday, October 22, the appointment is with Spain, current champion of the category.
