Banini celebrated again and Yamila Rodríguez took the ball in the victory of the national team

It was a special meeting. Even if he caught the ball Yamila Rodriguezwith his three goals in the 5-0 win against Uruguay, the focus was on Stefania Banini, the historic 10th and best Argentine player absent by decision of the previous coach, Carlos Borrello, after the 2019 World Cup and who returns to this Copa América, which is run in Colombia and in which the National team was played one step away from the semifinals. The other goal was achieved by Stabile in recovery time.

43 minutes passed. It was then that Banini, now at 22 albiceleste, showed off his qualities, escaping from the mark, entering the opposing area to lower the ball on his chest, turn around and end up on the far post of a static Uruguayan goalkeeper with a right foot. .

It wasn’t against Peru, in that 4-0 of the previous game, but Argentina and Banini took their revenge in the River Plate classic. The Atlético de Madrid player, who had already dazzled with her luxuries and gambeta in Colombia, this time managed to score her first goal on her return to the national team after being disqualified by Borrello, the coach to whom she is happened German Portanovawho called her back in March.

“We are not a national team that can do without players”said the former UAI Urquiza in announcing the return of the skilled striker who spent three years without the shirt of the albiceleste, in a great disruption that Borrello caused after the World Cup in France, when several players asked the AFA a change of address but it only happened in the last few months.

Finally, Banini’s goal was the key to a wide open door Yamila Rodriguez. The figure of Boca gave himself the pleasure of scoring three goals in just 17 minutes. The first arrived at 6 of the second half in a fatal counterattack by the blonde who played against Banini and then defined in front of the Uruguayan goalkeeper.

With the 2-0, a clash between Agustina Barroso and Pilar González – who from the ground tried to kick the Argentine in the face but was only reprimanded -, upset the actions until Yamila Rodríguez reappeared with her efficiency. Faced with a poor Uruguayan start, after a short serve by the goalkeeper, the Cristiano Ronaldo fan defined himself without problems and celebrated like the Portuguese at 19 at the Centennial Stadium in the city of Armenia.

Just four minutes later, Yamila Rodríguez’s third arrives, due to a mistake on the Uruguayan baseline, to widen not only the distance with Uruguay – something dangerous when there were a few minutes left to the game with an attempt by Esperanza Pizarro from the middle distance – but to bring the national team closer to qualifying for the second phase of the Copa América.

Stabile closes the score in the 95th minute with the fifth goal after a great game by Dalila Ippolito, the young promise of Argentine football. Now Argentina awaits further results to find out if it is already committed to the next phase.

For now he has 6 points in Group B, which dominates Brazil as a big favorite, until he conquers the title of dominator of South American football. However, Portanova’s side, despite that 0-4 start with the Brazilians, are encouraged to dream of two goals.

If he reaches that second place he will be able to go directly to the second phase without going through the playoffs, to which the national team will go only if it is third. On Thursday, the zone will be defined against Venezuela, even though he could have known his fate in Colombia earlier.
