The Mexican women’s team suffered its second setback under the command of Pedro López when it fell 1-0 to Colombia in a friendly duel in Orlando, Florida, where a connection with the fans was even broken.
The match was a test to regain confidence after having lost to Brazil in the semifinals of the W Gold Cup. However, the Mexicans showed gaps in defense while the offense formed by Jacqueline Ovalle and Kiana Palacios could not stalk the rival’s goal.
The lack of rhythm at the end of the game and the poor response from the Mexican team also caused the fans to show annoyance with whistles.
The Colombians, who stood out in the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, were better in almost the entire match, especially the international star Mayra Ramírez, who put tension on a couple of occasions by breaking the tricolor defense at high speed.
Thus, Colombia sealed the victory in the 43rd minute with a great goal from Catalina Usme, Pachuca forward. However, it was a bittersweet result because the striker would go out in the second half due to a serious injury to her right ankle, discouraging news when the Olympic Games are on the horizon.
The next challenge for Mexico is also complex as it will face Australia on Tuesday, which was fourth in the 2023 World Cup.
