The Chilean Women's Hockey Team Cesped without goals tied to the "Cimarronas" in a couple and entertaining duel, which was the last of the Pentagonal of the South American Games ODESUR Asunción 2022.

Asunción, October 10, 2022. - With the nerves of the tip, the hockey-grass fans ended up following the performance of the "Diablas," who were fighting their last match of the First Phase of the Hockey on Women's Lawn. This was because it was a set of tight teeth, where no damage was done to the marker.

Both squads, they arrived equal to this game with six points, which made the one who won the shock, secure the second place to the final for the gold, which Argentina had already expected. Equality favoured Chile, because of the difference in goals obtained in its triumphs over Peru and the local ones of Paraguay.

All together until the end. When there was a minute left to play, Uruguay, from a short corner, managed to score with a stick in the air. That's when the Chilean hearts were paralyzed to the definition of bronze with that goal. The judges called for reference assistance and overturned.

With this definitive equality, Chile was in the second position and moved to Uruguay for different goals in the table of positions in the pentagonal.

"We knew it was going to be a very hard game. Uruguay is a very strong team that has very good individualities and we always play such games, but even more so at this stage. It was a party that had to be played with hunger, soul and intelligence. We knew it was going to be won by a nail," he said excited after the brega, Head Coach, Sergio "Cachito" Vigil.

And he added about the end of the infarction that "we suffer in that play at the end also by virtue of the other team that made a 'playful'. It was two teams who fought to be in the final and thank God today it was us. I appreciate that the team after the match with Argentina, not so much for the result, but for the way we feel in the party, the team declared not to stop until we reach the end to leave everything on that court and leave everything for what we want."

The "Diablas" thus secured a new medal for the Team Chile, of gold or silver, as they will play the final in front of the "Leonas" of Argentina on Wednesday, October 12 at 7.15 hours in Chile.
