the match

In the very first minute of the game, while Brazil was passing the ball in defense after the initial whistle, coach Camilla Orlando had already noticed the spaces left by the Bolivian team and instructed the players to exploit the opponent's backfield.

Tainá was the first to explore the space. The forward received a deep pass, reached the end line, and although she didn't complete the cross, she realized that could be one of the paths.

And at five minutes, defender and captain Sofia launched Clarinha deep. The midfielder took advantage of the beautiful pass and the freedom inside the area to strike with skill and open the scoring.

The team pressed all of Bolivia's ball exits. And in one of the attempts, Clarinha intercepted a pass and handed it to Brendha. The center forward protected the ball, advanced on the right side, entered the area, and completed the beautiful play with a cross to Evelin's head, who extended the lead.

Still in the first half, Evelin received another ball from Vitorinha behind the defense, entered the area, and struck as goalkeeper Merino came out, scoring her second goal and Brazil's third.

In the second half, Brazil's intensity remained the same. The team maintained pressure on Bolivia, making any reaction from the opponents difficult.

In a quick breakaway, Tainá was launched at speed and reached the ball before goalkeeper Merino, who fouled the Brazilian, committing a penalty. In the penalty kick, Vitorinha showed confidence and struck with skill, leaving no chance for the Bolivian goalkeeper.

Even with a comfortable lead, the Amarelinha wanted more. And they got it. In the final moments of the match, Gisele, who had already hit the post, took advantage of Evelin's corner kick to the far post and, without leaving the ground, headed into the angle to score the fifth goal.
