Mariza weighs up Brazil v Mexico clash | OneFootball

The Brazilian National Team closed out the first FIFA Date of 2026 with a defeat to Mexico. At the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes, in Mexico City, Brazil suffered a 1-0 setback, despite having been superior during the match and creating more goal-scoring chances. After the game, defender Mariza analyzed the duel and highlighted what she believes Brazil needs to do to achieve the desired results.

“We had only a few days to work after the game against Venezuela and we knew it would be a tough match. The Mexican team is very skilled. I think we lacked a bit of effectiveness. I don’t think we played badly, we had many chances in the first half, and I believe we also created some chances in the second half, and I think we lacked effectiveness to finish the game when we had the opportunity,” she said.

“Now we have time to work and fix everything that happened. Every FIFA Date and every match has a different story. We have to keep our heads down, review all these games and everything that happened to see what we need to improve,” she added.

The next commitment for the Brazilian National Team is scheduled for April. Brazil will host the FIFA Series in Cuiabá. Canada, Zambia, and South Korea will also take part in the tournament.
