Peruvian women’s team fell to Paraguay and closed international tour

The Peruvian women’s team had a new international test on Tuesday, the second against Paraguay, and the result was a defeat. The ‘Blanquirroja’ could not with the Guaraníes and fell 4-2, in a friendly game played at the Gunther Vogel stadium of the Sportivo San Lorenzo club.

The goalless tie was broken before the quarter hour was up. At minute 13, Nahomi Martínez sent a deep pass to Xioczana Canales, who did not get nervous at all and finished with a left foot, on one side of the goal that Isabel Ortiz was protecting.

The reaction of the local team was immediate. The ‘Albirroja’ was ordered on the field and began to build dangerous plays. As a result, Paraguay turned the score around before leaving at halftime. The author of the goals was Jessica Martínez (42 ′ and 45 ′ + 1).

In addition, Peru equaled the actions, through the annotation of Gladys Dorador (72 ′). But the team led by Epifania Benítez responded again and took the lead more than once. Mirta Pico (75 ′) and Camila Arrieta (84 ′) sealed the Guarani victory.

It is worth saying that both teams had seen each other last Saturday at the Defensores del Chaco Stadium. That day, the result was a draw to one. Lice Chamorro converted the goal of the locals, while Nahomi Martínez signed the Peruvian equalizer.

These commitments, in fact, serve to accumulate filming with a view to the Copa América 2022, a tournament that will grant three direct places and two play-offs for the Australia-New Zealand 2023 World Cup.

This was the team that Peru presented to Paraguay: Maryory Sánchez; Stephannie Vásquez (73 ′ Yoselin Miranda), Alison Reyes (79 ′ Braelyn Llamoca), Fabiola Herrera and Scarleth Flores (58 ′ Amparo Chuquival), Emily Flores; Cindy Novoa (58 ′ Sandra Arevalo), Xioczana Canales and Gretta Martínez (79 ′ Sabrina Ramírez); Pierina Núñez and Gladys Dorador.
