Vitória Calhau and Raissa Bahia scored their first goals for the Brazilian Women’s National Team in the 6-1 win over Zambia in the second round of the FIFA Series, on Tuesday night (14), at Arena Pantanal in Cuiabá. In an interview with SporTV right after the match, the defenders celebrated the goals they scored in the game.

“I’m very happy about my first goal. Being here with the national team is a childhood dream for everyone. I’m very happy; this is a team effort. I’m not even the penalty taker, and I asked Ary (Borges) to let me take it, but luckily I was able to score,” celebrated Vitória Calhau, who played her fifth match for the Canarinha.

“I’m very happy to have helped the team with the goal. In the last match, I helped with an assist, and today with a goal. I feel very fulfilled,” said Raissa Bahia, who made her second appearance for the national team.

In her debut in last Saturday’s match (11) against South Korea, Raissa provided the assist for Kerolin’s goal and hit the crossbar. This Tuesday, the left-back found the net with a header. Despite her strong start with the Canarinha and her dream of being called up for a World Cup, she remained calm and focused on improving little by little.

“Every match is different. We have to keep working. From now until next year, there’s still a long way to go and nothing is settled. We just have to stay focused and keep working,” a statement Vitória Calhau agreed with.

Brazil will face Canada next Saturday (18) at Arena Pantanal in Cuiabá at 9:30 p.m. (local time), with live coverage on TV Globo, SporTV, GE TV, and Globoplay.
