The Brazilian women’s team lost in the second round of the She Believes Cup, this Sunday (19). Against Canada, at GEODIS Park, in the United States, Brazil was unable to hold off Canada and lost 2-0.
Brazil will have a big challenge ahead. On Wednesday (22), they face the leader and current champion of the tournament, the US National Team. To have a chance to become champions, Brazil must win and eliminate the goal difference, which is four goals. Also, it depends on the result of Canada’s next game.
Canada takes on Japan, who has no chance of a title, also on Wednesday. Canada is depending on Brazil’s outcome and can only become champions if the United States doesn’t score.
Game
The goal of the match came out due to a Brazilian error. In the 25th minute of the first half, the team’s defense tried to clear the ball in the middle of the area, but ended up placing it at Gilles’ feet. The attacker took advantage of this opportunity and hit Lorena’s right corner, 1-0.
Canada extended the lead to 30 in the second half. After a corner from the right, Viens climbed up the first post to head the ball. Defender Lauren, who was about to go up to fight for the ball, ended up slipping and was unable to get down. Without an appointment, the Canadian’s touch left Lorena with no chance of holding on.
