Brazil’s U-20 Women’s National Team secured a 3-0 victory over Canada this Tuesday (8) in the second group-stage match of the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Poland, and consequently booked a place in the round of 16. Now, the Canarinho will await the result of the match between Tanzania and England to find out whether they advance as group winners or runners-up.

In a match that demanded more physically from the players, partly because of the heat, close to 30°C, Brazil relied on quick transitions and passes around the edge of the box to overcome the Canadians with a convincing scoreline. Compared to the first match, against Tanzania, Camilla Orlando made four changes to the starting lineup: Gisele, Dulce, Kaylane and Gio Canali started in place of Vitorinha, Dudinha, Brendha and Evelin, respectively.

Brazil started the match without giving the opponent any room. The first goal came in the sixth minute after Clarinha, on the right flank, was fouled inside the box. Nogueira converted the penalty, sending it into the goalkeeper’s left corner.

Canada began to press and, in the 24th minute, Stephanie Schoeley made a hard challenge on Gisele and was shown a red card. Even with one player fewer, the Canadians kept looking for space, but Brazil managed to clear the danger with strong marking.

From a dangerous foul on forward Chukwu in the 30th minute, Taís Lima made a fine save from a free kick taken from outside the area. The goalkeeper was one of the standout performers during the match, along with Gisele.

At halftime, Camilla Orlando made more changes to the team. Brendha and Evelin came on in place of Gio Canali and Taina. The Canarinho began the second half on the front foot and, in the third minute, after a move that started with a ball recovery and an exchange of passes through the middle involving Brendha and Evelin, Vitorinha struck from the edge of the box to score the second goal.

Three minutes later, Vitorinha again found space near the edge of the area, combined with Dulce, who from the right set up Brendha to seal Brazil’s third. Before the end of the match, Camilla made two more substitutions: Aninha and Carioca came on for Gisele and Dulce.

The FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup began on Saturday (5) and runs until September 27. Brazil’s next match is against England on Friday (11) at Bielsko-Biala Stadium at 10 a.m. (Brasília time), with live coverage on SporTV and CazéTV. In the opening round of the group stage, Brazil beat Tanzania 4-1, while Canada and England drew 1-1.
