The eleventh edition of the CONMEBOL U20 Women’s Championship has been held in Ecuador in recent weeks, with the ten constituent nations of the confederation sending their teams. Brazil has won one of the last nine titles (the 2020 edition of the tournament ended without a champion due to the COVID-19 pandemic) and had no trouble rounding out the top 10.
Like any other CONMEBOL youth tournament, including the U-17 Women’s Championship, the ten competitions were divided into two teams of five in the first level of the tournament, with the 3 most sensible in the category qualifying for the final.
Group A, of course, included host Ecuador, as well as Argentina, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay.
Paraguay, which has now become the second-most successful team in Brazil’s tournament, was inspired by rounding out most of the organization with a record of three wins and a draw, keeping things tight more often in low-scoring situations by scoring five and conceding. only 2 goals.
Argentina also qualified for the final with an unbeaten record, however, their 3 draws left them third in Peru. Hosts Ecuador collapsed after squandering their first two matches, while Uruguay endured an extraordinarily disappointing crusade by squandering all 4 games with a one-goal margin to go. A goalless backhouse.
Group B included Brazil’s big hitters, such as Bolivia, Chile, Colombia and Venezuela.
Amazingly, it was Colombia who crowned the organization by winning all four of their matches. However, the explanation for this was that they faced Brazil on the final day, and both organizations were already qualified for the final, meaning they faced a team in rotation. .
On the other hand, Venezuela managed a one-goal victory over Chile on the final day to qualify as the third team in the group.
Normal service resumed in the final, when Brazil controlled the procedure to win the tournament with the ability to play. They did so by keeping a blank sheet in both games and scoring two goals on average in each of their five. games, resulting in a better ten in both senses of the word.
Paraguay finished an impressive fourth time, thanks in large part to the efforts of the tournament’s top scorer, Fatima Acosta, who scored seven times. Colombia’s third-place finish opened up a fifth-place finish for the next FIFA Women’s Cup. The U-20 World Cup, as they had already qualified as hosts, it was Venezuela who took the credit from Argentina. Therefore, Peru will be the only team that will not participate in the World Cup since the final.
The other five will meet there in September, when the U-20 Women’s World Cup will be held in South America for the first time.
