América Femenil thrashed 0-8 by Corinthians, out of the Rising Cup | OneFootball

América Femenil played the Rising Cup third-place match this afternoon, and they could not have done it in a worse way, falling 0-8 to Brazil’s Corinthians.

This was the starting lineup: Itzel Velasco, Vanessa Paredes, Karina Rodríguez, Annia Mejía, Julie López, Irene Guerrero, Nancy Antonio, Aylin Aviléz, Daniela Espinosa, Giana Riley and Mya Pérez.

It was a fairly even first half between both sides, but from the second half onward all the azulcremas’ changes came, and the Brazilian team took advantage of that to hand las águilas a historic thrashing.

It is worth remembering that in the previous match they fell by the slimmest of margins against Palmeiras in the tournament semifinals.

This friendly tournament was played right in the middle of the Women’s FIFA international window, so the team was without 10 players for this match: Scarlett Camberos, Kim Rodríguez, Xcaret Pineda, Jana Gutiérrez, Mariela Ramos, Isa Haas, Gabriela García, Geyse Ferreira, Alondra Cabanillas and Karen Luna.

It really is hard to understand why the board accepted the invitation to this tournament right in the middle of a FIFA window, with many players called up, others injured, and a very tight schedule for a team that has practically been playing every three days.

In the end, they bowed out of the Rising Cup without scoring a single goal and with eight conceded in two matches; and on top of that, some players were exposed in terms of the level they showed, as in the case of Giana Riley, Julie López, Annia Mejía, and even Daniela Espinosa, who has not managed to recover the level she had before her ligament tear.
