On Friday night (5), the Colombian national team faced Uruguay, at the Pascual Guerreiro Stadium, in a duel valid for the seventh and penultimate round of the 2026 Conmebol Women's Nations League, and won 1 x 0. The Colombians' goal was scored by striker Gisela Robledo, who belongs to Corinthians.

The goal in question came in the 14th minute of the first half, when the Timão striker was triggered by Leicy Santos at speed and finished left-footed past goalkeeper Sanchez. She left the field 25 minutes into the final stage for Gabriela Rodríguez to enter. The result guaranteed Colombia the 2027 Women's World Cup, as it reached first place with 17 points, six more than Venezuela, which occupies third place.

This way, with just one round left, they can no longer be reached. On the Uruguayan side, Belén Aquino, Robledo's teammate at Timão, was also on the field. She was called on in the 13th minute of the second half of the match, coming from the bench, but was unable to avoid the defeat to the Colombians, having little participation.

Uruguay, on the other hand, is already eliminated, having only scored five points in seven rounds - one win, two draws and four defeats. Venezuela, where midfielder Dayana Rodríguez, also from Corinthians, plays, only depends on a victory in the last round against the Uruguayan team, away from home, to take their place. The duel takes place next Tuesday (9), at 8pm. With their place guaranteed, Colombia ends the Conmebol Nations League by facing Paraguay, also away from home, on the same day.

Hired in mid-2025 after playing in Colombian football, Gisela Robledo's contract ends with Corinthians in August and still has an undefined future at the club. In total, there are four goals and seven assists in 55 games for Brabas (18 as a starter), with 38 wins, 10 draws and seven defeats - 75.15% success rate. In addition, there are three titles won: Conmebol Libertadores (2024 and 2025) and Brasileirão (2025).
