The Colombia U20 Women's National Team will face their Venezuelan counterpart for the second round of the South American Final Quadrangular of the category that takes place in La Calera, Chile. Those directed by Carlos Paniagua finalized details before facing the Vinotinto national team. The national team will be facing Venezuela this Thursday, April 21 at 5:30 p.m. in our country's time.

The match is particularly important because of the need to add up to three to define on the last date the two teams that will qualify for the world cup that will be held in August of this year in Costa Rica. On the first date of this phase Colombia fell to Brazil, in a controversial match where the 'canarinha' won 3-0 with a goal with her hand and a disputed arbitration.

This match will be repeated in the South American championship after both teams shared group A. The match at that time was played on April 10 and ended in a 1-1 draw. Spain's Tenerife player Gisella Robledo opened the scoring for Colombia in the 52nd minute. The draw for the 'vinotinto' came at the feet of Kimberly Campos in the 65th minute.

The 'tricolor advanced to the final round as second in the group after scoring eight points resulting from two victories, against Chile and Peru, and two draws, the one already mentioned and another scoreless against Argentina and that was left out of the last instance of the championship.

The other match of the day in the Final Stage will be against Brazil, the favorite in the title, and Uruguay that defeated Venezuela 2-1 on the first round and which has the tournament's goalscorer Belén Aquino with 10 scores. The match will be broadcast on DirecTV Sports and Señal Colombia.

Wendy Bonilla, América de Cali player analyzed the Venezuela match by making a self-criticism about the failure in the attacking zone. Colombia scored seven goals in five games played, the goalscorer is Gisela Robledo with three scores. The forward said about this situation that the team has noticed the desire to reverse the situation and that it always seeks to go out and look for the positive result:

The other player who attended the media prior to the match was the steering wheel Ximena Llerena, who was confident in the talent of her and her teammates and asked to pay more attention to set-pieces:
