Here in colombia we're having the FIFA U20 women's world cup. And of course, with every major international sports competition comes a mascot, and for this occasion it's Kinti, a fast and energetic humming bird. Obviously, I wanted to promote her more, so here you go!
Sadly, our team didn't make it to the semifinals, but they played hard and put their heart on the field.
Korea Republic Must Survive More Than Ecuador’s First Attack
Korea Republic vs Ecuador puts the final 18 yards in focus as Korea back line faces Fiorella Pico and Ecuador multi-threat attack in Poland.
Ecuador’s first U-20 Women’s World Cup appearance comes with real attacking momentum.
Fiorella Pico, Dariana Morán and Rosa Flores give Ecuador several ways to create danger around the penalty area. The problem for Korea Republic is not simply stopping the first cross or winning the first header. It is what happens next.
Korea Republic learned that lesson painfully at the Asian Cup, where sustained pressure often turned one defensive action into another. Against Ecuador, a clearance that lands at the feet of an unmarked midfielder could be just as dangerous as the original attack.
That makes concentration inside the box critical.
Track the late runner. Protect the cutback. Win the rebound. Then actually get out.
Ecuador will keep sending waves forward.
Korea Republic have to make sure every defensive possession truly ends.
Colombia hizo respetar su localía antes más de 35.000 personas en el Pascual Guerrero de Cali y le ganó 1-0 a Corea del Sur, asegurando su paso a los cuartos de final de la Copa Mundial Femenina Sub-20 de la FIFA™️.
