With the victory, Brazil becomes the isolated leader of group B with 6 points. After the debut, the Brazilian team was behind Venezuela on goal difference. However, the Venezuelans have not played this round and still have 3 points. Furthermore, Colombia played its first match beating Chile 2-0 and also scored its first 3 points.
Since each group of the South American under-20 women’s football tournament consists of five teams, one team will be eliminated during the four rounds of the first phase. This will be the case for Brazil in the next round. While the other teams face each other this Tuesday (16), the Brazilians rest for Thursday’s match against Venezuela (18). In the event of a new victory, the ranking could arrive one game early.
