After the second day of the South American Championship (women) in Santiago de Chile, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay top the table, while Brazil, Paraguay and Peru are still looking for their first victory.
With the beautiful sight of San Carlos de Apoquindo as background, Argentina had a big production in their two matches: 20-0 against Peru on opening day, then 13-0 against Paraguay on the second day of the competition.
Santiago Capurro’s squad is most likely to be one of the teams in the finals. Chile, the other candidate, also obtained two comfortable victories. In the first day of the tournament, the locals beat Paraguay 10-0. On second day however, against Brazil, they could only take a lead of 3 goals in the first half, before increasing their tally in the second period.
Uruguay, third in the list of candidates, had a tight first match with Brazil, winning only by 1 to 0. On the second day of the competition Uruguay had a more comfortable victory over Peru by 18 to 0.
Brazil, Peru and Paraguay, who came to the event to gain international experience, have not been able to obtain a victory, yet.
After the Round Robin is completed and positions defined, the two top teams will play the finals on Saturday.
