Peru Women will square off against hosts Ecuador Women at the Estadio Independiente del Valle in the first round of the Copa America Femenina on Tuesday. Both teams were winless in their campaign opener last week.
La Bicolor met Chile Women in their campaign opener and suffered a 3-0 defeat. After a goalless first half, Chile scored thrice in the second half. La Bicolor registered just one shot on target and will look to improve upon that record.
The hosts got their campaign underway with a 2-2 draw against Uruguay. They conceded a goal apiece early on in the first and the second halves. Yannel Correa's own goal helped them halve the deficit, and substitute Emily Rosa Arias Espinales pulled them level in the 78th minute.

La Tricolor got their campaign underway on an unbeaten note with a 2-2 draw, scoring for the fourth consecutive match in the Copa America. They have won 12 of their 36 games in the competition.
