Chile lost once more to its rival Venezuela, this time in El Teniente de Rancagua, adding doubts ahead of the women’s Copa América
Chile lost once more to Venezuela in a friendly duel, this time played in El Teniente de Rancagua, thinking regarding the Women’s America’s Cup 2022.
A forceful and painful 3-1 for La Roja, who said goodbye to our country far from showing a good image and with more than one question ahead of the continental competition.
The llaneras began the duel by pressing the exit of La Roja, which caused several doubts when starting the game from the bottom.
However, the one in charge of dispelling them was Francesca Lara. The ‘Pancha’, at 13 minutes, quickly served a corner kick that surprised the goalkeeper Yessica Velázquez and ended up becoming an Olympic goal with the complicity of the goalkeeper.
When it seemed that Chile might take over the shares, once more a bad start, this time by captain Christiane Endler, allowed Oriana Altuve level the score at 33′.
The defensive doubts of those led by José Letelier remained in the second half. The short passes and the Venezuelan counterattacks were a constant tonic that, even with modifications, might not be repaired.
This is how La Vinotinto’s second goal fell. Failure in midfield and a quick llanero attack so that, at 60′, Altuve repeated.
The ’11’ from Venezuela took the ball home. At 80 minutes, he took a ball from Daniela Pardo and headed for Endler’s goal, whom he beat with a tight shot.
Desperately, La Roja approached the Venezuelan goal but without luck. Two shots from Francisca Lara hit the horizontal, drowning a discount.
The score did not move and Chile added its second loss in a row once morest Venezuela. Last Saturday the 25th, it is worth remembering, it was a 2-1 llanero victory at La Granja de Curicó.
The women’s Copa América starts on July 8. La Roja will debut on Monday 11when facing Paraguay for group A.
The hosts Colombia, Bolivia and Ecuador will also be in the area.
