Colombia revives in the South American Sub-20 with a 3-0 victory over Paraguay in the final hexagonal

After several games of uncertainty, the Colombian forward found the goal this Friday in the 3-0 victory against Paraguay for the second date of the final hexagonal of the South American U-20.

After five games without scoring by the starting attacker, Andrés Caraballo, coach Héctor Cárdenas gave Jorge Cabezas a chance.

Without letting himself be overcome by the pressure, the striker from Real Cartagena, recently acquired by English club Watford, scored in the 29th minute after a “no look” pass from Miguel Monsalve.

In the previous play, a volley goal had been disallowed for offside.

The ‘9’ was the weak point of the local team, which with this result obtained its first three points in the final phase.

In the 40th minute, Cabezas joined Óscar Cortés, who fired powerfully to make it 2-0.

The Guarani had spoiled the party for Colombia (1-1) in their group stage debut, but this time they were outclassed by a set of quick attacking moves and good partnership.

The coffee growers are also great thanks to the support from the stands of the El Campín Stadium, packed for this game, and the performances of captain Gustavo Puerta, a true quarterback in midfield.

In minute 89 Puerta made it 3-0 with a violent shot that hit the crossbar and ended up in the net.

It is the first time that Colombia celebrates more than twice in the South American.

Despite the fact that Paraguay was one of the best teams in the first stage of the championship, they stopped in the final hexagonal and barely added 1 point.

Now the Colombians are chasing Brazil and Uruguay, who have two wins in two games.

Earlier, the Brazilians and the Uruguayans defeated Venezuela and Ecuador, respectively. (D)
