I post gifs of cool moments in WoSo matches. As I find them. I plan to do match recaps with highlights as well as random moments. Will try to keep it fresh, but I don't think I'll be able to post live.

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

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

WoSo Gifs @wosogifs.bsky.social · 14h

Las Dragonas did finally have a bit of sustained possession right at the end of the first half, putting together a good stretch of play, but the final shot was deflected out of a corner that came to nothing. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

WoSo Gifs @wosogifs.bsky.social · 14h

Instead, all the threat came from Ferroviária, who nearly had a third- Raquel's shot clanging off the post and staying out. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

WoSo Gifs @wosogifs.bsky.social · 14h

Independiente del Valle did get forward at times, but their chances were often speculative shots from distance that didn't create a lot of danger. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

Ferroviária maintained dominance throughout the first half hour, and they found their second goal in the 30'. Some good ball movement resulting in a fairly easy finish for Vendito. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

Ferroviária got off to an early start with a goal from a corner in the 5'. Raquel hammering home after the initial corner was only cleared to the top of the box. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

A good sense of this match, Corinthians had 16 shots, 10 of which were on goal. Boca Juniors had 9 shots, only one of which was on target. Corinthians were just the far better side. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

Final score: Corinthians 4 - 0 Boca Juniors

WoSo Gifs @wosogifs.bsky.social · 1d

I'm trying to give some praise to Boca, but they truth is they were just outplayed by Corinthians. And really, the scoreline would have been worse if not for Oliveros making a number of quality saves like this one late in the match. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

WoSo Gifs @wosogifs.bsky.social · 1d

There was more fight from Boca Juniors in the second half. I singled out Masagli for criticism in the first half, and she really stepped up in the second half. But their offense remained hard fought speculative chances, like this shot from distance from Kishi Núñez. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

WoSo Gifs @wosogifs.bsky.social · 1d

In case there was any doubt in the result, it was put to bed in the 68' when Monteiro out-fought Stabile on the longball and found Jhonson at the far post to make it 4 for Corinthians. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

WoSo Gifs @wosogifs.bsky.social · 1d

For their part, Boca did have chances in both halves, but they were nothing more than speculative chances, often shots from distance. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

WoSo Gifs @wosogifs.bsky.social · 1d

Actually, I'd single out Masagli for criticism. After the penalty was awarded following VAR review, she seemed more interested in arguing with the ref than defending. There's room for criticism all around, but Masagli seemed the most out of it. Key considering she's a center back.

WoSo Gifs @wosogifs.bsky.social · 1d

The initial handball call seemed to get into the heads of the Boca players, and they never really recovered. Late in the first half, Masagli committed a silly foul that led to a dangerous freekick and a first-half hat trick for Zanotti. Not bad for the 40 year old. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

WoSo Gifs @wosogifs.bsky.social · 1d

On the ensuing corner, Gabi Zanotti was left criminally wide open, and she duly scored her second of the match to double Corinthians's lead. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

WoSo Gifs @wosogifs.bsky.social · 1d

After the goal, Corinthians continued to dominate play. This cross-turned-shot forcing a save from Oliveros. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

WoSo Gifs @wosogifs.bsky.social · 1d

Corinthians captain, Gabi Zanotti, steps up to take the penalty, and she buries it into the corner. Oliveros dives the right way, but Zanotti places it perfectly. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

WoSo Gifs @wosogifs.bsky.social · 1d

Moments later, in the 3', Corinthians call for a penalty to be awarded for a handball. After VAR review, the penalty is awarded. I guess it's a handball as I understand the law of the game, but I feel like no one actually knows what a handball is. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

WoSo Gifs @wosogifs.bsky.social · 1d

Corinthians put the first shot on goal, a speculative shot from distance looking to catch Oliveros out after a turnover, but the keeper easily recovered. #WoSoGIFs #LibertadoresFEM

Highlighting players who had standout performances in the group stage:

Mary Valencia had 4 goals and was a constant danger in attack for Colo-Colo.

Yuria Sasaki created danger for Boca Juniors in the midfield.

Isa also proved a regular attacking threat out wide for São Paulo. #LibertadoresFEM
