The author of Brazil's winning goal against Colombia, securing a 1-0 victory, Vitorinha highlighted the team's strength in a classic match marked by intensity and adverse conditions. According to her, the match lived up to the expectation of a balanced duel, with rivalry, physical contest, and even rain as an extra element of difficulty.
"Rivalry, tough game, difficult, and there was even rain to add more excitement. We knew that Colombia's team was very strong, that it would be a game of duels, but we prepared well and managed to deliver our best. We showed grit and strength from start to finish, and that is what it means to be Brazil. A classic is not played, it is won," she stated.
The player also celebrated the special moment of scoring the goal that secured the three points for the Brazilian National Team and kept the team firmly in the fight for the South American title.
