Backbone of the Chilean win was Daniela Ortega. She recovered from a two games to nil deficit and the brink of defeat in the third to beat Daniela Fonseca Carrazana (7-11, 6-11, 13-11, 11-9, 11-6), before in the vital fifth and deciding match of the fixture, overcoming Idalys Lovet (11-6, 4-11, 11-9, 11-4).

The one further win for Chile was secured by Paulina Vega; in the crucial third match of the contest, she secured a full distance win in opposition to Lizdainet Rodriguez (4-11, 11-4, 9-11, 11-7, 11-8). The wins for Cuba were secured in the opening doubles contest when Idalys Lovet and Lizdainet Rodriguez beat Judith Morales and Paulina Vega (11-8, 11-8, 11-7), followed in the fourth match by success for Daniela Fonseca Carrazana in opposition to Judith Morales (11-6, 11-6, 6-11, 11-9).

Meanwhile, for Colombia, facing the Dominican Republic, the player to step forward was Cory Tellez. She partnered Maria Perdomo to doubles success against Esmerlyn Castro and Yasiris Ortiz (11-8, 11-8, 12-10), before in the third match of the contest accounting for Yasiris Ortiz (11-9, 11-5, 9-11, 4-11, 11-8). Two wins from Cory Tellez set the scene for Paula Medina, in the vital concluding match of the fixture, she accounted for Esmerlyn Castro (11-7, 11-8, 119).

Notably both wins for the Dominican Republic were both recorded by Eva Brito, in the second match if the fixture, she recovered from a two games to nil deficit to beat Paula Medina (8-11, 4-11, 13-11, 11-8, 11-8), in the fourth contest rather more comfortably she overcame Maria Perdomo (11-9, 11-6, 11-5).
