Argentina had been the only team to defeat the Amarelinha in the group stage of the competition and tried to repeat the counter-attacking game in the final stage match. However, the plan was thwarted by Camilla Orlando's team before three minutes into the game.

Noticing the opponents playing defensively, the coach encouraged the team to push forward. And the first attack was relentless: Vitorinha took a shot and goalkeeper Siben couldn't hold it, leaving the ball at Evelin's feet, who completed it into the goal and opened the scoring.

The early goal left the rivals lost and determined Brazil's control of the game. Clarinha, who had already created a good chance, extended the lead with a beautiful goal, controlling Dudinha's pass and shooting with no chance for the Argentine goalkeeper.
