USA Women will take on Colombia Women at BMO Stadium in the CONCACAF W Gold Cup on Sunday.
The USA Women’s five-game winning run ended when they lost their last group game to Mexico 2-0. The CONCACAF W Gold Cup hosts are one of the top favourites for this competition. They will be determined to not let down their own fans.
The Stars and Stripes are yet to lose against Colombia after 12 clashes in all competitions. They will look to extend their winning streak against the South Americans to 11 games but the defeat to Mexico calls for caution. Interim head coach Twila Kilgore will be mindful of avoiding the mistakes they made in that game.
Colombia finished second in Group B with six points behind Brazil on nine points. Both teams were billed to claim the group’s two direct tickets to the next round. Colombia had a dream start, crushing Panama 6-0 on matchday one but lost their second game to Brazil 1-0 in a battle of nerve.
Las Cafeteras are in search of their first victory over the USA. Their best result so far remains a goalless draw in a friendly match in October 2023. They will likely face an uphill battle against the four-time FIFA World Cup champions.
