Colombia in the quarterfinals
Colombia imposed its rhythm from the beginning, completely dominating the game, registering a total of 11 shots, of which 8 were directed towards the rival goal. However, they found a very solid goalkeeper in the ranks of Puerto Rico, who emerged as the outstanding figure of the Caribbean team.
For its part, Puerto Rico managed to make 7 shots, but only 1 of them went on goal, although towards the end of the match they tried to get closer, the solid Colombian defense did not allow them to effectively generate danger. Much of the match was played in the middle zone of the field, being a match clearly controlled by Colombia. In Colombia, the performances of its full-backs and wingers stand out, especially Linda Caicedo and Manuela Vanegas, who contributed with excellent collective actions, including an outstanding participation by Catalina Usme.
