Brazil beat Colombia 4-2 in second women's U15 Liga Evolução game | OneFootball

After drawing 0-0 with Ecuador in their Conmebol U-15 Evolution League debut, the Women’s National Team looked for a faster-paced game and more precise passing, finishing their second match of the continental tournament with a 4-2 win over Colombia. With the result, the Canarinho remains in the race for first place in the group and the title.

Colombia’s first shot on goal came after 25 seconds, but Brazil, focused on regaining possession and controlling the ball, sped down the right with Nicoly, who crossed for Marcela Bontorim to head home and secure the Canarinho’s first goal with less than two minutes played.

Brazil’s number 13 found the net again in the 33rd minute after taking advantage of a lapse in the Colombian defense and receiving a pass alone inside the box on the left, from a free kick taken near midfield.

The opponents cut the lead two minutes later with an individual play by Lelys Victoria, who got past three Brazilian defenders and shot into the goalkeeper’s right corner. Before the end of the first half, Brazil, with a quick one-two, moved into attack through midfielder Melissa, who took a shot, the goalkeeper parried it, and the rebound fell to Nina de Deus, who scored her goal — the Canarinho’s third of the match.

In the first 10 minutes of the second half, Colombia won a penalty, taken by forward Alejandra Díaz, who struck it into Nathy’s right corner, giving the Brazilian goalkeeper no time to reach the ball. The Canarinho did not ease up and, in the 35th minute, scored the fourth goal. Again from a loose ball after a set piece and a mistake by the Colombian goalkeeper, number 9 Mavi made no mistake and got her goal.
