Brazilian women’s team defeats Germany in the last test before the World Cup

With one hundred days left for the World Cup, the Brazilian team did well and beat Germany by 2-1 this Tuesday (11th), in Nuremberg. This was the last Fifa Date before the World Cup. Tamires and Ary Borges secured the winning goals in the first half. Jule Brand cashed out.

The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is still trying to organize a farewell match for the women’s national team in Brazil before going to Australia. The audience was more than 32,500 people in the stadium.

Bia Zaneratto was banned from the friendly due to a calf injury suffered in the Final and Ana Vitória was cut due to a virus. The Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand starts on July 20th. Brazil is in Group F alongside France, Jamaica and Panama. The premiere is on the 24th.

Brazil and Germany could meet in the round of 16 of the World Cup if one team advances in first and the other in second. If the two pass in the same position, they would only cross in a possible semifinal.

HOW WAS THE GAME

Brazil started the game well and went to the top. Unlike what happened against England, the team took advantage of their best moment to score and took the lead, gaining confidence.

After the goal, Germany took over and put pressure on, but Brazil defended well. In a rehearsed move, the selection managed to increase the scoreboard. The first half was very encouraging for the Brazilians, who showed good definition power in both goals and were still solid in defense.

The second stage started slower and both teams made the first changes. Germany made five moves in the opening 20 minutes. Dzsenifer Marozsán, who came on in the 18th minute, bid the German team farewell. She was very applauded.

On the other hand, Aline Gomes, aged 17, made her debut for the main Brazilian team. She’s from the Railway. Despite the changes, Brazil controlled the match well, but conceded the goal in the end. Germany pressed, gave scares and tried to score. Despite having succeeded, there was no time to avoid defeat.
