Colombia ended the South American Women's U-17 from which he was host and despite obtaining the classification to the World Cup in the category in Morocco, the selected one led by Carlos Paniagua left a fairly basic balance, in which he paid only in matches where he had the possibility of winning.
Throughout the South American, Colombia was fighting the first places, but also due to the high competitiveness that was both in the group stage and in the final hexagonal.
In the group stage, Colombia was leader with 5 points, matching in that same amount with the other five selections, confirming the little difference between all in that area A.
On the other hand, in the final phase it was a bit more complex, because it lost two games that were key to defining the title and defeats against Paraguay and Brazil ended up confirming that they were not one of the best in the contest.
Colombia had as a scorer to María Baldovino with seven goals, but failed to maintain her performance she showed in groups and cost her in the finals, because she only contributed a hat-trick against Peru, the worst team of this instance and to which she scored three goals that they added so that the attacker ended with seven in total throughout the tournament, being the second best scorer.
Of the nine games played, Colombia could only obtain three victories, three draws and the remaining were losses, but incredibly, the matches where he won were against somewhat lower teams such as Venezuela, permit and Chile, who did not qualify for the World Cup, while he could barely match Argentina, Ecuador and Paraguay, these two being the ones that ended up being runner -up and champion, respectively.
Now, coach Carlos Panigua must work more to strengthen this new football game, because in the World Cup in Morocco, so he will have four months to improve the idea of the game and can be competitive in this World Cup event.
