Match
[edit]Summary
[edit]_073_(cropped).jpg)
Early on in the match, Colombia created more chances, with forwards Valerin Loboa and Linda Caicedo testing Brazil's defense. However, Brazil struggled to break through Colombia's defense, despite a few close attempts.[14]
After 25 minutes, Colombia's persistence paid off when Caicedo scored with a close-range finish following a blocked shot.[15] Brazil made substitutions in first-half added time. Colombia's centre-back Jorelyn Carabalí then fouled Brazil's forward Gio Garbelini inside the 18-yard box and a penalty was awarded after a VAR review, with midfielder Angelina converting to equalize.[14][15]
At the start of the regular second half, Brazil nearly took the lead, but Colombia reacted with centre-back Daniela Caracas' shot.[14] After 69 minutes, Brazil's counterpart Tarciane scored an own goal when her backpass went past her own goalkeeper,[15] but the team quickly responded, and forward Amanda Gutierres scored with a volley to make it 2–2 after 80 minutes.[14][15]
In stoppage time, Brazilian forward Marta equalised with a long-range shot[15] to force extra time, in which both teams slowed down, but Marta then scored again at the end of the first half to make it 4-3. Colombian midfielder Leicy Santos then equalized with a free kick in the second half, sending the match to penalties.[14][15]
In the shoot-out, Brazil triumphed. Marta had a chance to win the match but goalkeeper Tapia saved her penalty;[15] however Brazil goalkeeper Lorena then saved Carabalí's shot to secure a 5–4 victory for the team.[14][15]
