International career

edit

At the 2015 World Cup in Canada, Montoya's goal in a 1–1 draw with Mexico was described as one of the best goals of the tournament.[5] She was not selected in the Colombian squad for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil, after criticizing the Colombian Football Federation for its failure to pay the team's contractual bonuses at the previous year's World Cup.[6]
