Time and where to watch the Colombia-Paraguay duel for the third matchday of the U-20 hexagonal
After mourning the 1-0 defeat against Brazil in the previous matchday, the Colombian players resumed training with a view to the game against Paraguay this Sunday at 8:00 PM, our country's time. Against Paraguay, the hosts, they already faced each other in this U-20 South American Championship, drawing goalless at the end of the group stage, a result that confirmed Colombia as the winner of group A. But now the scenario is different as well as the need for Carlos Paniagua's team, as a victory is essential to keep the dream of a World Cup spot in Poland alive. The duel can be watched in the country through www.golcaracol.com, Ditu, Caracol HD2, and RCN HD2, starting at 8:00 PM. "Unfortunately, we lacked goals again against Brazil, but I think the team did their best, we fought, and now all we have to do is turn the page and think about what's next. We are still alive for the duel with Paraguay, we can still seek qualification, and that's what we're going to do, we're going to go out and give our all," said forward Marleidy Cossio. Despite that tough defeat, the outlook was not so negative for the Colombians, as Ecuador's 1-0 victory over Argentina and Paraguay's 2-0 win against Venezuela allowed Ecuadorians and Brazilians to take the lead, but the other two spots for the World Cup are still open. Brazil and Ecuador are leading with six points, followed by Paraguay with three; while Argentina and Venezuela have one. Therefore, the 'cafeteras' triumph is essential, as a win could move them into the World Cup qualification spots (top four). That's why the recovery was not only physical but also psychological, as the hope of maintaining a mathematical chance of qualifying has given the group new momentum. The U-20 South American Championship schedule starts at 4:00 PM, Colombian time, with the Venezuela-Ecuador duel, then, from 6:00 PM, Brazil-Argentina will play in the South American classic that is repeated in the tournament, after the 'gauchas' victory 2-1 in the group stage. Finally, the Colombian National Team will face the hosts starting at 8:00 PM, closing the third matchday of the hexagonal. The fourth and fifth matchdays of the South American Championship will be played on February 25 and 28, respectively. It should be recalled that Brazil has won the previous ten editions of the tournament, and Colombia's best position has been third place, which they have achieved on three occasions.
