Perspective

She played the inaugural match of the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup against Germany, which Argentina lost 11–0, the biggest defeat in the history of the tournament until Thailand lost 13–0 to the United States in 2019. The following year she was the starting goalkeeper in the 2008 Summer Olympics women's football tournament.^[3]

When Argentina failed to qualify for the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup, Correa retired from football the following year. She was persuaded into a national team comeback in 2017, when coach Carlos Borrello encountered her at a domestic fixture. She played in all seven of Argentina's matches at the 2018 Copa América Femenina and in both legs of the subsequent CONCACAF–CONMEBOL play-off win over Panama.^[4]

At the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup Correa won acclaim for her performance in Argentina's 1–0 defeat by England in Le Havre. She made six saves including a penalty kick from Nikita Parris. English coach Phil Neville was effusive in his praise: "Their goalkeeper was incredible. I saw her before the game and she was unbelievable, even in the warm-up. What you've seen tonight is an unbelievable goalkeeping performance." The BBC Sport report described Correa's display as "a form of redemption", after her unhappy experiences at the 2003 and 2007 editions of the tournament.^[5]
