The Match

The match against Peru promised more risks than the previous round against Bolivia. But Camilla Orlando’s team turned the duel into a straightforward game. The top scorers of the night were Thay, Nogueira (twice), Adrielly, Dudinha, and Brendha.

Once again, Brazil started the game without letting the opponent settle, positioning the team in the attacking half. The result was, once again, reflected in Amarelinha’s ball possession, with many chances created.

In the opening minutes, one player stood out in playmaking: midfielder Nogueira. She was responsible for the first big play of the match, entering the box from the right, weaving through Peruvian defenders, and finishing with a pass to Tainá, whose shot was deflected by goalkeeper Miranda.

But the goal didn’t take long to come. From a Nogueira corner, Thay, unmarked, headed it in to open the scoring. The second came from Nogueira herself, who received a first-time pass from Dudinha and finished past the goalkeeper.

Adrielly scored the fourth goal, a beauty, dribbling past the Peruvian goalkeeper. The fifth came from a penalty earned by Samara. On the kick, Miranda saved Dudinha’s shot, but couldn’t prevent the Brazilian forward from scoring on the rebound.

There was more in the second half. Nogueira appeared once again, taking advantage of Brendha’s hold-up play to strike a cross-shot from outside the box and score the fifth. The center forward found the net soon after: well positioned in the box, Brendha deflected Nayara’s corner and closed the score.
