Atlético Nacional Women

Match report

Atlético Nacional women took on La Equidad in the Promotion Group stage of the Women's League on Thursday evening. The home side held firm to claim a 1:0 victory at the Estadio Atanasio Girardot. It was a result that kept their promotion ambitions on track.

Lucía Álvarez broke the deadlock in the twenty-third minute. The goal came from a well-worked move that caught the visitors' defence flat-footed. By then, the match had settled into a physical rhythm. Nacional pressed forward with purpose while Equidad sat deep and soaked it up.

Things grew tighter as the match progressed. Launched a series of bookings that told their own story. L. Castillo picked up a yellow in the thirty-ninth minute, followed by M. J. Guisamano and K. Rondon within eight minutes. Y. Rodriguez also joined the list after half-time as the tension mounted.

Coaches shuffled their benches to find fresh legs. D. Alzate and V. Diaz came on together in the thirty-second minute for Equidad. Nacional responded with changes of their own, bringing on H. Mosquera in the sixty-fourth minute. We had tipped the hosts to win this one at 59 per cent confidence, and the match played out much as we expected. The visitors threw everything at it after that, but things came to a head when W. Cabrera was sent off in the eighty-sixth minute.

The three points move Nacional further into the hunt. La Equidad were left exposed after their late dismissal and could only watch on. It was a hard-fought contest decided by a single moment of quality. And here's the thing — you can see how far these sides have come since last season.
