The Gladiators, who had just beaten ADDIFEM on the last date of the first round, made better stops on the playing field. In fact, the two clearest opportunities in the opening 15 minutes were at the feet of young Kishi Núñez, scorer of a goal against the Venezuelan team. First he tried to place it at the goalkeeper’s far post, but the ball went wide. A while later, he took advantage of a mistake at the start, dribbled past one of the defenders and took a weak shot, which ended up in the hands of Kaka Hipólito.

El Peixe seemed confused and errant in defense. Even the player from the 2006 category, passing through the Argentine National Team, complicated her rival again with the pressure on the first pass. Despite the recovery and the overtaking of the opposing goal, Núñez wasted another chance to put Boca ahead at 25′ of the first half.

The forward had revenge again later, although she could not eradicate the bad luck. This time it was Hipólito who excelled with a firm save to prevent the zero from being broken. The first half ended more physically than football-wise. De Santos, the giant of Brazil, was seen little or nothing.

Although Peixe came out with more impetus to seek victory in the second half, they almost scored a goal in an attempt to reject a center from Estefanía Palomar at the beginning. However, Florencia Quiñones’ team stagnated and allowed the growth of its rival, who was close to opening the scoring with a subtlety from Alves, which went over the crossbar by centimeters.

The second half did not have many dangerous chances. Just one shot from the aforementioned winger, which the Santos goalkeeper caught without problems, and another two from Núñez, very close to the left post. The poor state of the playing field forced a more fierce and fighting style to be imposed. There was little room for good jogo, both from Las Gladiadoras and from the Brazilian cast. And everything was decided on penalties.

Yohana Masagli was in charge of starting the round. The defender wanted to place it in the goalkeeper’s right corner, but the ball went over the top pipe. Alves excelled and confirmed the advantage for Santos with a sublime low execution, which Oliveros, despite guessing the intentions, could not contain.
Japanese Yuria Sasaki scored the first for Xeneize and defender Daiana Silva tied the score by wasting her chance. The Ribera team took the lead in the result thanks to Eugenia Flores. However, Yamila Rodríguez, with a blue and gold past, tied the score again and apologized for scoring her goal.
The key moment of the definition was approaching. On this occasion, Kishi Núñez did not fail: he finished hard and in the middle and signed the partial 3-2. Her shot was enhanced when Laurina Oliveros deflected Ana Carla’s penalty. The move to the semifinals was sealed by Julieta Cruz with a formidable right hand, which unleashed madness on the Quiñones bench.
After the 4-2 victory from the 12 steps, Boca will have to face Corinthians next Tuesday, who defeated Olimpia of Paraguay, in search of reaching a new final in America.
