The note of the owners of the house was the work of the veteran midfielder Daniela Montoya and prevented the second friendly match that both teams played in Bogotá these days from also ending in a 0-0 draw.
This goal allowed the hosts to successfully end a year in which they reached the quarter-finals of the Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand and the prelude to a 2024 in which they hope to surprise in Paris and in the first edition of the Golden cup.
The first half was played away from the goals, largely thanks to good defensive work from New Zealand, which prevented Colombia from circulating the ball in the opposite field.
The pressure of the Oceanic teams was crucial to neutralize the attacks of the hosts, who struggled to get clean balls to Lady Andrade and Mayra Ramírez, who were very lonely in the rival field.
New Zealand faced early problems as the midfielder attacked in the 20th minute Malia Steinmetz She retired injured and was replaced by Katie Kitching.
For the second part, the Colombian coach, Angelo Marsiglia, sent to the field Leicy Santos and the team attacked better.
