Marta, Brazil’s all-time top scorer, could end her national team career in the most unexpected way after she was sent off in a 2-0 Olympic defeat to Spain.
The iconic Canarinha player announced her farewell to the national team after the game in Paglia, allowing her to end her long career off the pitch after the team’s defeat.
In the final minutes of the first half, player No. 10 hit Spanish player Olga Carmona in the head with an iron rod and was sent off. He fell to the ground and when he stood up he saw the red card in the air. When her teammates stopped her, she burst into tears and left the field crying.
Brazil managed to advance to the quarter-finals against the best third-party team, so Marta had to accept a suspension. Furthermore, we will have to see what the authorities decide, since if it is approved beyond a date, it will only return in a hypothetical final.
