A tough setback against Canada left the Sealy Women in intensive care at the Gold Cup

Costa Rica fell to Canada 3-0 at the conclusion of the third group of the Gold Cup, and awaits its fate with what will happen at eight in the evening between Paraguay and El Salvador.

It was known in advance that the task with Canada is very difficult, as they are a very complete team, ranked tenth in the FIFA women’s classification, and they enter any tournament they enter to compete.

Al Seeley had another clear point, to think about the North American rankings, we had to get something out of them to think at least one of the top two third places, that at least they wouldn't beat us, that they wouldn't. It will not be a blow that will defeat us immediately, it will leave you without illusion.

Unfortunately, until we reached the steep slope, losing 3-0, the Ticos came out to try to close the gap, because losing by only two goals did not give us the chance of that third place, with a greater score that we had already put fate in the hands of others.

Although it is the first Gold Cup in history, we must see to what extent it is true to apply the message that these tournaments help us grow or that we were there to compete more.

Ticos' opponent was not Canada, I think no one came into this match thinking they could win it and the fault with this cup was that in that first match against Paraguay they should have had more, since it was not an easy match. A team loses, and as happened in the end, the ticket remains there.

There is still a big distance with the Canadiens, given the aerial game in which they killed us with three headed goals in very similar circumstances which unfortunately we were not able to correct quickly.

Just 11 minutes later, they passed a ball behind our backs to Jordin Huitema's head, where Jesse Fleming sent it in beautifully and the National Defense fell asleep.

That net they could play with to score goals was short-lived for the Ticos because at 27 they had already scored the second goal, now with a header from Shelina Zadorski at the near post where Daniela Solera was, which marked where she was headed. .

The Seeley were playing on a very thin ice cover, which could break at any moment, 2-0 put us in third place, but the ensuing goal made it 3-0 and with the same scorer, once again in Zadorski's head and now closing in at the far post.

With three players inside, the Ticos went looking for something, partly because the opponents had left them a bit, they were all tied up already and didn't want to kill themselves anymore, but unfortunately we weren't even close to the goal.

The Ticos national team was waiting for El Salvador to perform a miracle and beat Paraguay by less than 4-0, as at least a draw sends us to third place and there we should see a tiebreaker with Puerto Rico to get third place, we are also the same in everything, so it can be defined With cards.
