Venezuela knew how to neutralize the World Cup players in the first 20 minutes and got their reward in the 26th minute when Daniela Zamora capitalized on Yesenia Lopez’s left-footed shot to push the ball over the crossbar. Account opening..
The second goal of the match came in the 30th minute, off a long ball from Yenni Acuna from “Paloma”. The former Santiago Morning bore the mark of a rival defender and with a devastating right hand he left goalkeeper Victoria Essen.
As the second half began, the Chileans expanded their tally, with Karen Araya’s shot from outside the area thwarted by a contested goal. Lopez was alert on the rebound (46′), figure of the match, to finish with his right foot from point-blank range.
The New Zealanders were conditioned in the 55th minute when Hannah Wilkinson was red-carded for an altercation with a linesman. Since then, Luis Mena has decided to encourage the entry of young players such as Claudia Herrera, Francesca Caniguan and Anas Alvarez, who made their debut for La Roja.
