Megan Rapinoe, the captain of the United States team, was one of the figures of the victory over Colombia in the second friendly. The North Americans threw this time 6-0.
The amount and superiority continue to expand. Of the eight games played between the women’s teams in the United States and Colombia, seven were victories for the North Americans, the other remaining game was a draw.
Colombia, unfortunately, did not hit the ball in the two friendlies played against the United States this week. The first lost 4-0, and tonight it was 6-0. Although there were a few North American football players who scored, in development and on the scoreboard, Megan Rapinoe, the team captain, stood out, scoring a double and was in charge of leading the victory of the day.
The match quickly went to the Americans after the goal of the club Catarina Macario, who scored in the second minute after an assist by Ali Krieger. The captain of the local team was in charge of scoring his double at 35 ‘and 44’ from the penalty spot.

Both commitments serve coach Nelson Abadía to profile local league players who could serve the home team, as many of the senior team members belong to European teams and, as these matches are not part of the FIFA data, they were not required to be borrowed for the two games.
Learning remains and the path of the Colombian national team is difficult. Then it will be essential to have a better management, so that footballers in our country meet more often and continue to play with great rivals around the world and thus be able to maintain optimal performance for future competitions.
