The knowledge of the group was a strength and this showed in several sections of the match, being superior to the Caribbean, which complicated the final stretch of the match in which they threatened to draw a draw.
El Salvador managed to open the scoring after five minutes, through Dariella Argueta, finishing off a bad rebound from the rival goalkeeper on the right, after centralizing from the right.
The scoreline gave Cuscatleco’s side more confidence, but they couldn’t convert their superiority on the pitch into goals, despite some scares in the defensive zone.
In the second half, El Salvador continued with the right pace and looked to increase the scoreboard.
However, it took until the 85th minute, courtesy of a converted penalty by Amy Angel.
The discount for the Cubans comes one minute from the end of regulation time (89′), still with three more minutes of discount.
This time meant there was a dramatic close to the match, but the Salvadorans were able to resolve to get the three points and start that dream of being in the World Cup on the right foot.
The next match for the women’s selection is Sunday against Martinique, which was measured against the Canadians on the first day.
