Daniela Montoya recalled Colombia’s first goal in a Women’s World Cup
Daniela Montoya, one of the great references of the tricolor team, recalled a unique moment for the Fifa channel: Colombia’s first goal in a Women’s World Cup.
The score that meant a 1-1 draw against Mexico was an indelible moment for the Antioquia. “That goal at Canada 2015 was incredible. Just naming it makes me emotional because it was my second Senior World Cup and we hadn’t managed to score a goal in the past (Germany 2011)”, said the midfielder.
“We were convinced that we wanted to make history and I had a flutter in my heart that I was going to score. I spent the goal of life, so to speak. It was a moment that will always remain. It is something that I will never forget, ”she assured.
Linda Caicedo featured at the FIFA museum in Sydney
Some of the best women’s soccer players, such as the Spanish Alexia Putellas, the Brazilian Marta da Silva and the Colombian Linda Caicedo, were immortalized in the Fifa Museum for their living legacy and example they set for millions of girls who see them shine at the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
The exhibition entitled “The singing voice: The faces of women’s football” at the FIFA Museum, inaugurated in Sydney on the occasion of the 2023 World Cup, includes these three women among the most prominent figures in this sport, who share the stage with other stars such as Megan Rapinoe and Australian Sam Kerr.
The young Colombian, crowned the “Queen of America” and signed by Real Madrid at the end of last season, has astonished the world since she was 14 years old with her skills on the pitch.
For this reason, Fifa highlights that this young promise – the first woman to play in the U-17, U-20 and Women’s World Cups in less than a year and accumulate a covetable record – is “a rising star striker for Real Madrid and his nation”.

How is the record against South Korea?
South Korea has players like Ji Soyun and Jang Sel-gi and comes from being runner-up in the 2022 Women’s Asian Cup at the hands of Colin Bell, an English coach who took over the reins of the squad in 2019.
Colombia will seek to improve the record it has against South Korea, as they have met twice: once in the 2010 U-20 World Cup, when they lost 1-0 with a goal from Ji So-yun in the dispute for third place in the tournament, and another in the draw at one goal in the 2018 U-17 World Cup in the group stage, with goals from Cho Min-Ji and Gisela Robledo.
We recommend: The time has come for Colombia in the 2023 Women’s World Cup
The common denominator in the discourse of the 23 players that Nelson Abadía summoned for the World Cup in Oceania is to make history.
The tricolor lacked players like Katherine Tapia, Gisela Robledo, Liana Salazar and Tatiana Ariza, who were part of this process. And of the 23 present, Sandra Sepúlveda, Daniela Arias, Daniela Montoya, Catalina Usme, Mayra Ramírez and Leicy Santos stand out for their experience and leadership.
Other soccer players such as Ana María Guzmán, Ángela Barón, Linda Caicedo and María Camila Reyes appear as players to watch because of their young age, but also because of their projection and their role in the under-17 and under-20 categories in the World Cups they have played.
