A new title for Brazil. The women’s selection won the Copa America by taking the best of Colombia this Saturday night (1-0). Debinha scored the winning goal from the penalty spot in the 39th minute of play. The Brazilians will have achieved an impressive full card in the continental tournament with six wins in six matches, with 20 goals scored without conceding.

The Canarinha thus once again asserted their overwhelming regional domination by winning their 8th Copa America in nine editions (only that of 2006 escaped them, with a defeat in the final against Argentina). Swede Pia Sundhage, Brazil coach for three years, adds a title to her list which also includes two Olympic gold medals gleaned at the head of the United States team in 2008 and 2012.

For this Copa in Colombia, the experienced stars Marta (36, injury), Formiga (44, international retirement) and Cristiane (37, technical choice) did not appear in the Brazilian group for the first time in 20 years.
Brazil and Colombia, having reached the final, had qualified for both the 2023 World Cup, scheduled in Australia and New Zealand, and the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The third qualifying ticket for the Mondial-2023 was obtained on Friday by Argentina, winner of Paraguay 3-1 in the match for 3rd place. Paraguay and Chile can still claim it through the play-offs, which will be played in February.
