the Colombia women’s team closed its preparation tour in Ecuador with a new victory, this time by a thrashing against the local team. The team led by Nelson Abadia won 0-4 in preparation for the Copa America.
The great figure of the party was Catherine Usme, author of the four goals of the match. This is the second time Usme has scored a poker with the yellow shirt: he had already done so on April 4, 2018, in the 7-0 victory over Uruguay, in the first phase of the Copa America played in Chile.

Colombia took the lead after 40 minutes, as a result of Suany Fajardo’s awkward, but ultimately successful, shot from the right. The Ecuadorian was expelled and Catalina Usme scored the first goal of the game.
Usme’s 0-2 was a header, after a cross from the right by Diana Ospina, 10 minutes into the second half.
The third was the most beautiful of Usme’s and Colombia’s goals: he scored from a free kick, with a shot from outside the barrier.
The 0-4 was again the work of Usme, again from the penalty spot, at 37 in the second stage.
