Panama snapped up the last available ticket to this year’s Women’s World Cup at Australia and New Zealand after winning 1-0 Paraguayan.
Lineth Cedeno, who came on as a substitute, scored the only goal after 75 minutes, putting the Panamanians in a World Cup for the first time in their history. There they will face each other Brazil, Jamaica and France in group F.
Panama became the third team to qualify for the world from this intercontinental play-off in which 10 teams participated last week in New Zealand. Haiti and Portugal they also got their ticket here for the first time in history.
In addition to the Panamanians and Haitians, four other teams from CONCACAF: United States, Canada, Jamaica and Costa Rica.
The match between the Canalera team and La Albirroja was tight and there were few shots on goal in the first half. The Panamanian goalkeeper Janet Bailey saved a curling free kick from Jessica Martinez moments before the break came.
The goalkeeper again had a long period of calm in the extra until Martha Cox he bombed in a long cross from the right wing, with 15 minutes left. Cedeño finished with a header and power near the right post.
Australia and New Zealand they will host the World Cup, which will take place from July 20 to August 20.
