The Brazilian women’s football team lost this Saturday night (7) to Mexico, 1-0, in a friendly played in Mexico City, three days after suffering its first defeat to Venezuela.
In front of a full Ciudad de los Deportes stadium, Arthur Elias’s men had many opportunities to score, but without getting the right shot — often stopping at goalkeeper Barreras.
On the other side, the Mexicans missed a penalty in a decisive save by Letícia just seven minutes into the first half, but took advantage of a well-aimed corner kick that resulted in a header from Espinoza in the 30th minute of the second half.
This is Brazil’s second defeat to Mexico in 17 meetings, having won the other 15 times. In addition to Venezuela, the team also faced Costa Rica, on Friday (27), on this FIFA Date, with a 5-2 victory.
Brazil will host one of the groups of the FIFA Series, a new national team tournament to be played later this year. Canada, Zambia and South Korea will be the opponents of Arthur Elias’ team. In 2027, the country will also host the women’s football World Cup.
