Colombia shines against Peru and dreams of qualification
Won 11-0 and will decide its semifinal spot in the final matchday.
- Mancilla scored five goals.
- Remains unbeaten and depends on itself to qualify.
After the first matchday with no games, the CONMEBOL Copa América Futsal Femenina 2025™ returned with an outstanding performance from Colombia, which secured a massive victory and will seek a semifinal spot in the final matchday.
Colombia dominated the first half, creating several goal-scoring opportunities but not fully reflecting its superiority on the scoreboard. The 3-0 halftime lead came thanks to two goals from Camargo (the first after a great team play, the second a powerful strike) and another from Mancilla.
The second half was a display of total efficiency. Roberto Bruno’s team scored eight goals, showcasing individual brilliance, strong team combinations, and the same key scorers from the first half: Mancilla finished with five goals, Camargo with four. Alejandra Apraez and Danna Rodríguez added to the final tally.
Peru closed its Group Stage campaign with four defeats, will have a bye on Thursday, and will play for 9th place on Saturday. Meanwhile, Colombia will face Argentina on March 27 with a semifinal berth at stake.
