Argentina beat Peru 1-0 and went to the semifinals of the Copa América 2025. “All the games are difficult,” reflected the author of the only goal, Yamila Rodríguez.
Argentina beat Peru 1-0 and became the first National Team to qualify for the next phase of the Copa América 2025. Yamila Rodríguez, scorer of the only goal, did not hide her joy after the victory: "First team classified? Something that never happens! We are enjoying it."
For the missionary, the result was a true relief and this is what she told FutFemGol in a mixed zone, between laughter and background music. “Without today's victory we weren't going to have anything, so I'm happy for that,” he said.
Although the National Team won, Yamila acknowledged that the match was more demanding than expected. "All the matches are difficult. The first half was a little vague and there were also girls who were making their debut as starters," she explained and did not miss the opportunity to congratulate them: "My recognition to them, they were happy again."
In addition, he highlighted the evenness of the tournament as a reflection of the growth of soccer in the region: “No team is lesser today.”
The forward also spoke about her celebration. "I wanted to take off my shirt, but Flor (for Bon Segundo) didn't let me go for the yellow ones. I wanted to make a mess, but I took care of myself a little," she admitted and said that her friend Romina Núñez had asked her for a special celebration inspired by Memphis Depay: "She always trusts me. She sent me a celebration and I said 'hopefully'. Today I got it."
