Women’s Gold Cup: the Dominican Republic is the poor defense of the competition!

The Gold Cup kicked off on February 20 in Group A with a shock match between Mexico and Argentina (0-0). The last group match took place on February 28 between Paraguay and Salvador (3-2) for the Paraguayans.

A look at the number of goals scored: 61 goals scored in group matches. Canada finished with the best attack +13, zero goals conceded. The Canadians finish with 9/9. Only two selections have completed this journey, Canada and Brazil, each with 9 points, that is to say 3 victories in as many matches. Brazil scores 7 goals without conceding.
The poor defenses are: Dominican Republic, 16 goals conceded; 6 against the Americans, 8 against the Mexicans, 3 against Argentina.
Panama, 13 goals conceded and El Salvador, who conceded 11 goals. It should be noted that the Dominican Republic is the attacking stone of the competition. They eliminated without scoring a single goal. Unlike the other teams. Panama scored one goal and El Salvador 2 goals.

The surprising team in the Gold Cup despite its elimination in the draws is Puerto Rico. A difficult team to maneuver, especially in defense with their goalkeeper, Sydney Martinez, very confident in the cage. Puerto Rico conceded 4 goals while scoring 2. Two defeats and a historic victory against Panama.

The teams qualified for the quarter-finals are:
Brazil, Colombia, USA, Mexico, Argentina, Canada, Paraguay and Costa Rica.
The quarter-final looks like this:
Canada vs Costa Rica on March 2 Brazil vs Argentina
March 3: Mexico vs. Paraguay, United States vs. Colombia
