This match was very even. Basically, it came down to Deportivo Cali capitalizing on a couple mistakes and São Paulo encountering a near perfect Agudelo in net. #WoSoGIFS #LibertadoresFEM

São Paulo had their best chance of the match in the 78' when Anny deftly put a cross on goal, but Agudelo had lightning quick reflexes and knocked it off the crossbar before being cleared. #WoSoGIFS #LibertadoresFEM

As with the first goal, São Paulo quickly got on the attack after conceding. Isa puts a dangerous cross into the box, but it is well tackled out by Bermeo. #WoSoGIFS #LibertadoresFEM

São Paulo had more of the possession to start the half, looking for an equalizer, but the first major moment of the half was to Cali's advantage, as Carol Gil was called for a handball in the box. As always, probably a good call by the law, but no one knows the law. #WoSoGIFS #LibertadoresFEM

São Paulo was quickly back on the offensive, working the ball around well. They eventually find Isa at the top of the box, but she doesn't quite catch her volley right, and the ball loses a lot momentum driven into the turf, and Agudelo collects easily. #WoSoGIFS #LibertadoresFEM

Moments later, Deportivo Cali would have the ball in the net as Marquínez pounced on a misplayed back pass from Kaká and slipped the ball passed Carlinha to give the Colombians the lead. #WoSoGIFS #LibertadoresFEM

São Paulo had a dangerous chance of their own in the 31', but Agudelo collected before the attacker could head on goal. #WoSoGIFS #LibertadoresFEM

The first dangerous chance fell to Deportivo Cali, after Martinez's cheeky touch helps Marquínez get through on goal, but Carlinha does well to close down and block the shot. #WoSoGIFS #LibertadoresFEM

In the end, Libertad would not find a goal, and Colo-Colo are going on to the semifinals. Colo-Colo definitely controlled the match and should be moving on, but they were a little wasteful. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

WoSo Gifs @wosogifs.bsky.social · 20h

Colo-Colo nearly had a second on a couple occasions but was wasteful, and Libertad nearly made the pay. Peña again on this shot. This time a turn and blast on the half volley that goes just wide. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

Moments later, the inevitability that is Mary Valencia would find the net. Acevedo finding Valencia open for an easy headed finish after sending in an initial ball that failed to find its target. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

LIbertad had a great chance 10 minutes into the second half. Peña plays a nice give-and-go to open. She has a good shot, but her blast goes just over the bar. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

Colo-Colo dominated the first half, but as the stat line shows, neither team had a shot on goal, and that pretty much explains the half. Libertad really has to turn this around in the second half, however. It's hard to see Colo-Colo not score if they continue this way. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

Half time stats that show Colo-Colo dominating but neither team having a shot on goal.

WoSo Gifs @wosogifs.bsky.social · 20h

Colo-Colo continued to create chances. Martins next having a chance with a header she really should have put on goal, but instead she heads over. There's a chance she was offside anyway, but still, gotta put it on net. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

Colo-Colo dominated the first 30 minutes. They had a few speculative chances, but they nearly scored in the 28' when some good ball movement finds Acuña open at the top of the box, but De León gets over to clear the ball out for a corner. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

WoSo Gifs @wosogifs.bsky.social · 20h

The first chance of the match falls to Colo-Colo in the 11'. Mary Valencia makes a good in behind the defense and her teammate finds with a nice through ball. Valencia centers to the second running attacker, but Grez skies her shot. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

The match was more even than the result. Ind. del Valle were not overrun, but they couldn't generate danger from their possession. Ferroviária always felt in control of the match. A goal from the Ecuadoran side may have shifted that, but it never came. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

Final score: Ferroviaria 3 - 0 Independiente del Valle

WoSo Gifs @wosogifs.bsky.social · 1d

Independiente del Valle would come close to a consolation goal in second half stoppage time, but Rodríguez's header was cleared off the line. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

A later replay suggested VAR assessed offside against the player who heads the ball in. However, it was flagged against the player interfering with the last defender. I suspect they're both onside, and VAR may have checked against both, but it would be an error if they only checked the goal scorer.

As with the first half, Las Dragonas had a fair amount of possession but little of threat to offer. Ferroviária ended all doubt with a goal in the 85'. It was initially ruled out for offside, but VAR overturned and the goal was awarded. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

Independiente del Valle has a great counter after a poor freekick, early in the second half, but the Ferroviária defense covered well and cleared. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM
