The Colombian national team faced New Zealand on Matchday 2 of Group A of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and won 2-0 thanks to Marcela Restrepo’s excellent goal. He celebrated with dedication to his partner Mayra Ramirez.
After stumbling to a 3-2 defeat against France in their opener, the Tricolore took on the Oceanic side looking to take advantage of the points drop from Canada and clinch qualification.
At 28 minutes, Marcela Restrepo opened the game with a magnificent volley New Zealand beat the goalkeeper who did not expect such a powerful and accurate shot.
After celebrating with his teammates, Restrepo held up a Columbia T-shirt with a ‘9’ printed on it and said, ‘Mayra Ramirez.’ He showed it to the entire stadium and dedicated his score to the Chelsea forward, who missed the match after a red card against France.
While Restrepo held Maira’s shirt, Kata Uzme also held the hands of injured goalkeeper Catalina Perez on her knee.
