Marta, the biggest star of the team, was not banned due to card. After 2008, Brazil’s women did not reach the final of Olympic football.
Among them, the opponents of Spain are the World Cup champions and number one in the FIFA rankings. Brazil was far behind Spain in terms of strength and recent statistics.
However, the opposite picture was seen in the field game. The girls of Brazil entered the final of the Paris Olympics by beating Spain 4-2 with great football.
They regretted not being able to play the final for 16 years. Brazil will play for gold on August 10 against the United States, who beat Germany 1-0 to book their place in the title race.
Brazil girls lead 2-0 in the first half against Spain. In the sixth minute of the match, Brazil went ahead with a suicide goal by Irene Paredes. Gabi Portolio doubled the lead in first-half added time.
Brazil took a 3-0 lead with Adriana’s goal in the 71st minute. In the next 85 minutes, Spain’s Salma Parayuelo made the difference 3-1.
Then in the first minute of added time, Caroline almost confirmed the victory for Brazil (4-1). Parayuello’s second goal in the 12th minute of added time narrowed the gap slightly for the Spanish (4-2).
