Brazil’s U-20 Women’s National Team secured a 3-0 win over Canada this Tuesday (8) in their second group-stage match at the tournament in Poland, and consequently booked a place in the round of 16. Now, the Canarinha awaits the result of the match between Tanzania and England to find out whether it will advance as group winner or runner-up.
In a match that demanded more physically from the players, also because of the heat, close to 30ºC, Brazil relied on quick transitions and passes around the edge of the box to overcome the Canadians with a convincing scoreline. Compared to the first match, against Tanzania, Camilla Orlando made four changes to the starting lineup: Gisele, Dulce, Kaylane, and Gio Canali started in place of Vitorinha, Dudinha, Brendha, and Evelin, respectively.
Brazil began the match without giving the opponent any space. The first goal came in the sixth minute after Clarinha, on the right side, was fouled inside the box. Nogueira converted the penalty, striking it into the goalkeeper’s left corner.
Canada began to press and, in the 24th minute, Stephanie Schoeley made a hard challenge on Gisele and was shown a red card. Even with one player fewer, the Canadians kept looking for space, but Brazil managed to clear the danger with strong marking.

After a dangerous foul on forward Chukwu in the 30th minute, Taís Lima made a good save from a free kick taken from outside the area. The goalkeeper delivered a standout performance during the match, as did Gisele.
At halftime, Camilla Orlando made further changes to the team. Brendha and Evelin came on in place of Gio Canali and Taina. The Canarinha started the second half pressing and, in the third minute, after a move that began with a ball recovery and quick passing through the middle involving Brendha and Evelin, Vitorinha shot from the edge of the area to score the second goal.
Three minutes later, Vitorinha again found space at the edge of the box, combined with Dulce, who from the right played the pass for Brendha to seal Brazil’s third. Before the end of the match, Camilla made two more substitutions: Aninha and Carioca came on for Gisele and Dulce.
The FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup began on Saturday (5) and runs until September 27. Brazil’s next match is against England on Friday (11) at Bielsko-Biala Stadium at 10 a.m. (Brasília time), with coverage on SporTV and CazéTV. In the first round of the group stage, Brazil beat Tanzania 4-1, while Canada and England drew 1-1.
