Boyds, MD (April 7, 2018) – Washington Spirit midfielders Yanara Aedo (CHI) and Estefanía Banini (ARG) each scored goals for their respective national teams during the first round of the 2018 Copa América Femenina.
Aedo netted Chile’s first goal of the tournament in a 1-1 draw against Paraguay on Wednesday, April 4, providing an equalizer in the 60th minute, just seven minutes after Paraguay had taken the lead. Aedo scored on a one-touch strike from the center of the box, beating the goalkeeper with a shot into the bottom right corner of the net. [WATCH]
Aedo played the full 90 minutes both against Paraguay and in Chile’s 1-1 draw against Colombia in their second Group A match-up on Friday, April 6.
