Uruguay Women U17 3-0 Peru U17 Women: Uruguay Dominates Sudamericano Opener

Uruguay’s Women’s U17 national team kicked off their CONMEBOL Sudamericano campaign in emphatic style, brushing aside Peru 3-0 in a one-sided contest on April 26, 2026. The victory showcased Uruguay’s superior technical ability and tactical discipline, as they controlled the match from start to finish.

Match Overview

Playing at a neutral venue for the South American championship, Uruguay were the clear aggressors from the first whistle. They pressed high, moved the ball quickly, and systematically dismantled a Peru side that struggled to cope with the intensity. Peru’s goalkeeper was called into action early and often, but she could do little to prevent the eventual scoreline.

Key Moments

• 13th minute: Uruguay opened the scoring when midfielder Sofía Martínez curled a free kick over the wall and into the top corner, giving the keeper no chance.
• 37th minute: The lead was doubled as striker Camila Rodríguez latched onto a through ball, rounded the goalkeeper, and tapped into an empty net.
• 58th minute: Substitute Valentina García added a third with a clinical finish from inside the box after a well-worked team move.

Uruguay’s Dominance

Uruguay’s midfield, anchored by captain Lucía Hernández, controlled the tempo and dictated the flow of the match. The team completed over 80% of their passes, with most possession in the attacking third. Peru, by contrast, struggled to string passes together and managed only one shot on target across the 90 minutes.

Tournament Impact

The result gives Uruguay a vital three points in the group stage of the CONMEBOL U17 Women’s Sudamericano, setting them up for a strong push toward the semifinals. Peru, meanwhile, will need to regroup quickly if they are to keep their hopes of advancing alive in this highly competitive regional championship.
