Camila Sáez

Internationals | Sáez & Paví feature in friendly action

West Ham United women’s team’s two South American Hammers were involved in international action on Saturday evening.

Camila Sáez featured for the full match for Chile in their narrow 1-0 victory over Uruguay at the Estadio Elías Figueroa Brander in Valparaíso. 

Sáez started at the heart of the backline in the friendly contest, which saw the hosts have to wait until second-half stoppage time to make their dominance count. Colo-Colo defender Michelle Olivares found the back of the net with seconds remaining on the clock to give her country the win in their first international outing of the break.

The sides are set to meet again on Tuesday 3 December, this time in the Chilean capital, Santiago, at 9pm GMT.

Manuela Paví

Manuela Paví lined up for Colombia as they took on Argentina in a friendly match in Florida, USA.

Fresh from scoring her first West Ham United goal before the international break, the winger played the full 90 minutes at Beyond Bancard Field as they fought from a goal down to draw 1-1 when veteran Catalina Usme cancelled out Kishi Denise Núñez’s opener. 

As this was both sides' only international fixture of the break, a penalty shootout was used to decide a winner, with Argentina victorious from the spot, winning 5-4. 

Earlier on Saturday, Princess Ademiluyi was an unused substitute for England U19s in a narrow 1-0 win over Italy. 

Brighton & Hove Albion’s Lily Dent scored the only goal of a tight affair on 15 minutes at MOSIR Brzeg in Poland, leaving Lauren Smith’s team on six points in Group D and in a strong position to qualify for the UEFA Women’s U19 Championship ahead of their final qualifying fixture.

England conclude their international window with a clash against Poland on Tuesday 3 December (12noon GMT).
