The first edition of the W Gold Cup already knows the two teams that made history in the most important women’s soccer competition in the region. Brazil was the first to confirm itself by defeating one of the elections that caused the most excitement, Mexico. And the United States got the desired ticket by eliminating Canada.
This Sunday, March 10, at 6:15 pm, El Salvador time, the two finalist elections of the Gold Cup will have an unmissable event, at the Snapdragon Stadium, in San Diego, California, United States, a sports venue that will crown the first champion team of the historic edition.
One of the elite women’s soccer teams, Brazil, was the first to be present in the grand final, for this we must remember the path that the Brazuca team traced.
As the leader of group B, the South American team had a perfect step in the group stage by beating Panama, Puerto Rico and Colombia. In the quarterfinals, Arthur Elias’ team beat the Argentine Albiceleste team with a handful of goals, which also fought to maintain the dream until the last instance. And in the semifinals, the brazucas snatched the dream away from the Mexicans by beating them 3-0.
The second finalist of the competition, the United States, finished second in group A, with two victories: one against Argentina and another against the Dominican Republic, and with the historic defeat that the Mexican team gave them.
In the quarterfinals the North American team achieved a solid 3-0 victory against the coffee team and in the semifinals the team had a difficult time against Canada, tying 2-2 in extra time and settling the ticket from the penalty shootout where beat the maple leaf team 1-3.
Brazil and the United States became the two most important women’s teams in the region, and surpassed teams like Mexico, which was one of the candidates to compete for the title, and Canada, which marked its path at a perfect pace but lacked effectiveness against the selection of stars and stripes.
It is worth remembering that the competition also demonstrated the growth that the El Salvador women’s team has had during these three years of the project, and that despite the result it obtained in its attempt to achieve the long-awaited dream of the quarterfinals, the team It is still under construction for the next competitions and the next World Cup in the category.
