El Tri Femenil Sub-17 Dominates Costa Rica to Reach World Cup
The Mexican U-17 women’s national team, affectionately known as El Tri Femenil Sub-17, delivered a stellar performance on Sunday, March 22, defeating Costa Rica 2-0 and thus securing their place in the upcoming World Cup set to take place in Morocco. Under the guidance of coach Miguel Gamero, the team finished at the top of their group with an impeccable record, showcasing their dominance throughout the tournament.
Entering the final matchday, the stakes were high for El Tri Femenil Sub-17, as both they and their opponents, the Costa Rican team, boasted two victories each, accumulating six points. This match was pivotal, as the winner would clinch the coveted spot at the U-17 World Cup. The game began with intensity, and although the Mexican players faced early challenges with a couple of threatening plays from Costa Rica, they maintained their composure. Just before halftime, Citlali Reyes broke the deadlock, scoring the first goal and allowing Mexico to head into the break with a lead.
In the second half, Costa Rica, under pressure to find an equalizer, began to leave gaps in their defense. Mexico seized the opportunity to extend their advantage, but it wasn't until the final ten minutes of play that Kimberly García effectively sealed the victory, securing El Tri Sub-17’s passage to the World Cup. This impressive win capped off a remarkable qualification campaign for Mexico, who earlier had triumphed over Jamaica with a staggering 9-0 score and followed that with a 6-1 victory against Panama, significantly boosting their goal difference in the process.
The U-17 Women's World Cup in Morocco is scheduled to kick off on October 17, with the final match set for November 7. While the opponents for the Mexican team remain unknown, it is noteworthy that this edition will feature 24 teams competing for the title.
