Arthur Elias made important changes in the second half and Brazil dominated. He returned with a different attacking duo with Debinha and Gabi Nunes. Subsequently, he ousted Marta, who was applauded, to replace Bia Zaneratto. With these changes, the dynamic improved and the match turned into a showdown between Brazil and Canada.
Debinha started the match very well and led the Brazilian team’s chances. She participated in the most dangerous chances and Brazil complained of a penalty after a clear handball in the area, but the referee ordered to continue. Despite this, Arthur Elias’ team put pressure on and cornered Canada, who only had one shot (with a miracle from Lelê). Lacking precision in their conclusions, the players almost failed to turn their dominance into goals, but Debinha saved in the last minute and secured the victory.
