The Peruvian under-19 team made a strong debut in the Bolivarian Games, overcoming an initial setback against Bolivia to secure a 3-1 victory. In their second match, they engaged in a nail-biting encounter against Colombia, winning 3-2, largely thanks to the stellar performance of Susana Castro, who made a significant impact off the bench.
Venezuela also displayed formidable talent, defeating Colombia 3-1 in their first match and later dominating Bolivia with a convincing 3-0 win.
