Preview: América visits Cúcuta Deportivo on Matchday 13 of the Women's League

This Saturday, May 25, América Femenino visits Cúcuta Deportivo on matchday 13 of the 2024 Women's League after fulfilling the rest date stipulated in the calendar.

After 11 matches played, the Scarlet team sits in second place in the standings with 28 points, one less than Atlético Nacional, who currently occupy the top spot. Meanwhile, the Cúcuta Deportivo team is in ninth place with 14 points.

Recently, the Cúcuta Deportivo team suffered narrow defeats against Llaneros and América de Cali. Before their respective bye week, they won a controversial match against the same opponent. The game was 1-0 in our favor, but then Llaneros withdrew from the match. The Championship's Disciplinary Committee, having declared the match a forfeit due to withdrawal, ruled that the final score was 3-0 in favor of our team.

This match will be unprecedented, as it is the first time that Escarlatas and Motilonas will play a Women's League match.

Our assistant Harold Viáfara referred to this commitment and the previous weeks of training without football: "They have been intense training sessions with a lot of joy. This allows us to maintain the consistency and physical condition we have been achieving."

Regarding this opponent, he mentioned: "Cúcuta Deportivo is a team that hasn't been very consistent in its play, but we'll have to be careful. They've had some very important matches. We have to always play with our style of play and focus on defense, as we have been doing."
