A Brazilian women’s team This Tuesday, he suffered his first defeat under the command of the coach Arthur Elias. After winning the first friendly match against Canada1-0, a few days ago, the team this time was rewarded in a match in which it lost its performance in the final phase after dominating the first 45 minutes, taking 2 to 0 at the Wanderers Grounds in Halifax, Canada.

Unlike the first friendly match, in which he observed Marta and Cristiane from the start, the coach chose this time to change the squad a lot, with four changes. Gabi Nunes earned an opportunity alongside the number 10 jersey. Arthur Elias also started Luana, Geyse and Bia Zaneratto.

Even modified, the Brazilian team dominated in the first stage, with good offensive plans and a lot of work for the rival goalkeeper. Ary Borges called for a superb save and Marta swept it away.

Cristiane came on at half-time and almost opened the scoring at the start of the second half. After this wasted opportunity, Canada grew and reached the goal in a move that was heavily questioned by the Brazilians. After a cross from the right, Huitema took the upper hand and headed the ball, without any chance of defense for Lelê. Arthur Elias’ team complained a lot about the momentum of the movement.

After the goal, 40-year-old veteran Sinclair entered the field to play the final minutes and receive a tribute. She was applauded by the supporters in the stands, and even saw her team grow. After a header, Rose received a free kick, took off and struck, moving Lelê past to define the victory on a day of Canadian celebration on a very cold Canadian night.

“We ended up losing concentration midway through the second half, giving them space to play. We stopped pressing, stopped playing, but there have only been two friendlies and we are on the right track to reach the Olympics at our peak,” striker Cristiane told SportTV.
