A defensive error on a backward pass ended in Paraguay's winning goal (2-1), in which Baikal showed signs of encouraging not only the approach to the tournament, but also the philosophy being implemented.

That's why senior team coach Emily Lima is also in Guayaquil, because a team is built not only by good players but also by the support they receive.

And Peru have talents like Sashenga Porus, nicknamed 'Joita' of Alianza Lima, who attacks and defends. Score and retrieve the balls. In Spanish-born Mia Leon, playmaker and goalkeeper Lucia Argos provides protection between the three sticks.

There is something to be excited about, but the model needs to be strengthened. Peru is a team that builds its attacks from the spaces it finds. He reacts well to adversity, but being a protagonist is difficult.

It was seen yesterday against Paraguay. Against and in the first minutes of the second half, he tried to cause damage through associative play and stopped balls and saw a reward with Sashenka's head for the area 1-1.

But they proposed only a few minutes. Then they declined and with no substitutes, Paraguay gained the advantage thanks to a Peruvian error: the required pass went backwards, but no center reached the ball, which allowed Guarani's goal for the final 2-1.

-hope-

The Peruvian fall out of the table with four points with one game remaining. A must beat Uruguay on Wednesday to qualify for the last six of the tournament. The light blue side lost against Argentina and have zero points in two dates.

Chances are there and a win against Saros is possible. Now in the hexagon you can think about the World Cup, because six teams have qualified for four, but if Colombia is among them, they will finish fifth.

“There has been a big change in the selection because Professor Emily Lima started the whole process and was able to work with a structured program in all categories. The issue of the women's league has a lot to do with it, if you get girls from the age of 17 they get better development,” says Denise Vera, from the Women's Football for All portal. , how this discipline is growing in the country.

It's a new process led by coach Emily Lima, and you'll see steps taken in no time.
