The Paraguayan team was the first to secure its place in the final phase on the previous date, after achieving a total of victories in the first three days. Paraguay was followed this Wednesday by Peru, which beat Uruguay 1-2 with goals from Valerie Gherson and Birka Ruiz, so they reached 7 points, the result of two wins and a draw. Next, Argentina drew 1-1 against Ecuador, and that point helped them reach 5 points and guarantee at least third place in the zone.
The Albiceleste took the lead with a goal from Julieta Romero and the locals equalized with a goal from defender Sheyla Macías, after heading a corner kick.
Although the Ecuadorian team achieved its first point in the tournament, it was insufficient, as was the case for Uruguay, which added its third consecutive defeat. On the last date of Group A, to be played on Saturday, Argentina will face Paraguay and Ecuador They will face Uruguay, while Peru will have their rest day.
The tournament will continue this Friday with the fourth date of Group B, in which Colombia will face Bolivia and Venezuela will do the same with Brazil. Chile will be the team that rests.
