The crying of Jorelyn Carabalí while singing the National Anthem and the battle cry of the goalkeeper Catalina Pérez at the end of the protocol acts, represented the emotion of an entire country that stayed up late to enjoy Colombia’s 2-0 victory against South Korea in the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
Although the rivals started the game at a dizzying pace, Colombia did not despair and little by little took possession of the ball, generating dangerous approaches and arrivals on the goal of Korea.
Demonstrating great physical condition, pressing throughout the field and with the brilliance of players like Manuela Vanegas, Jorelyn Carabalí, Linda Caicedo and Mayra Ramírez, La Tricolor generated the first action to open the scoring, after a penalty was sanctioned, for a handball in the Korean area after a mid-range shot by Vanegas.
The scorer, Catalina Usme, took the ball and charged with great quality to celebrate the team’s first goal, after 30 minutes.
The Colombians did not slow down or intensity to look for more goals and that is how Linda Caicedo generated an action, in an individual play. She won the ball in the midfield and went discounting rivals. She then took a shot, more with location than with power, which went to the bottom of the bow with some complicity from the Korean goalkeeper.
It was the 39th minute and Colombia’s second goal came and Linda Caicedo’s seventh goal in a World Cup, being the only national with that record: La Valle del Cauca has played three World Cups (Under-20, 17 and older) in less than a year. In all of them she has been the protagonist.
With that advantage, the National Team went to half-time and, for the complementary part, although it generated new options, it failed to score more goals, despite the insistence of Mayra Ramírez, who looked for it head-on, from mid-distance and dribbling rivals.
In the end, Colombia celebrated its second victory in a World Cup, after the 2-0 victory it had achieved in Canada 2015 against France.
