Colombia and Ecuador face off in a high-stakes match this Tuesday in the second round of the Women's Nations League. The two most dominant teams in the tournament will take to the field, following their resounding victories over Peru and Bolivia, respectively, in their opening matches.
Colombia started as one of the favorites in the Women's Nations League, beating Peru 4-1 with outstanding performances from midfielder Leicy Santos and striker Linda Caicedo.

In addition to Santos and Caicedo , Jorelyn Carabalí, in defense, Valerin Loboa, in attack, also stand out in the team, to which is added the strength, character, command and leadership of Daniela Montoya, 35 years old.
The team, led by Colombian Ángelo Marsiglia, maintains the core group with which it has been competing in several tournaments, so order and functioning go hand in hand with performance and results obtained.
Colombia left a positive impression in the final of the Women's Copa America last August, played precisely in the Rodrigo Paz Delgado stadium in Quito, where they will face Ecuador this Tuesday.

The team led by Linda Caicedo, the striker for Spain's Real Madrid, drew 4-4 in a thrilling match with Brazil for the Copa America title, but lost in the penalty shootout.
Ecuador , who thrashed Bolivia 0-4 away at altitude in El Alto, will try to erase the pale image they left in the recent Women's Copa America, which they hosted, and in which they were eliminated in the Group stage after one win, one draw, two losses and in which they finished second to last in Group A.
The Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) confirmed Eduardo Moscoso as the local coach for the Nations League, as he knows the squad very well and maintains the process he prepared in the last Women's Copa América.
