In a tightly fought battle at the Copa América Femenina, Paraguay’s Women’s Team emerged victorious with a narrow 1-0 win over Chile’s Women’s Team, securing fifth place in the tournament. The match, although not the grand finale, delivered tactical intensity and individual brilliance that fans worldwide — including those in Tanzania — found thrilling to follow.
📌 First Half: Cautious Beginnings, No Goals
The match kicked off with both teams playing cautiously, aware of what was at stake. Chile W maintained a more possession-based approach, while Paraguay W waited for counter-attacking opportunities.
In the 19th minute, Pinilla F. received a caution, setting the tone for what would become a physical contest. Despite several chances from both ends, the first 45 minutes ended goalless, with both defenses holding firm.
⚽ Second Half: Balmaceda’s Spark and Arrieta’s Finishing Touch
The second half opened with immediate impact. Balmaceda R. entered the pitch right after halftime, injecting pace and energy into Paraguay’s attack.
Paraguay’s tactical shift paid off when Cynthia Arrieta scored the match-winning goal in the 90+2’ minute, calmly converting a beautiful pass from Ramos C. — a decisive moment that broke Chile’s resilience and sealed the fate of the match.
