The Venezuelan team reacted in the second half and with a 2-0 victory, at the Rodrigo Paz Delgado stadium in Quito, against Paraguay qualified for the U-17 World Cup.
Two good collective actions by La Vinotinto broke up a game in which La Albirroja threatened to counterattack, but did not maintain its intensity in the final stretch.
In the first passages, Venezuela generated opportunities with the connection between David Emmanuel Martínez and Mayken González, who found good responses from goalkeeper Facundo Insfrán Lirussi.
Paraguay settled in better for the rest of the first half and was close to scoring on a counterattack, which was defined by Jorge Mora but Santiago José Silva served on the goal line.
For the second stage, Vinotinto made adjustments with changes that reformulated its attack. His rival lost presence in the middle zone and accused the physical process.
In the 70th minute, a quick advance by Junior Colina, accompanied by Leenhan Romero, ended in the goal scored by Martínez.
The Guaraní squad was unbalanced and another action by Romero allowed González to score the second with a powerful shot from the angle at minute 85.
Venezuela qualified for the second time in its history to the U-17 World Cup, after being present in the 2013 edition.
Ricardo Valiño’s lineup was as follows: Jorge Sanchez; Yaicar Perdomo, Rai Hidalgo, Angel Borgo, Santiago Jose Silva; Jose Correa, Giovanny Sequera (Leenhan Romero, 46′), Emmanuel Melendez (Miguel Vegas, 46′), David Emmanuel Martinez (Andrew Pereira, 85′), Mayken Gonzalez (Oscar Hinojosa, 90+2′); Lucciano Reigns (Junior Hill, 70′).
