The friendly match between the women’s soccer teams of Brazil and USA in Fortaleza turned into an unusual and complicated clash and a total of 8 red cards were shown to the Brazilian team and the coaching staff.
In a match that was played in front of more than 55,000 spectators, the United States of America defeated Brazil 1-0, but the main focus of the match was more than the heat on the field.
Brazil coach Arthur Iles and his 3 assistant coaches were removed by the referee in the second half.
Later, Brazilian forward Bea Zenerato received a red card for a second yellow card, while her teammate Tarciane was given a straight red card for shouldering an American player.
After the match ended, the controversy did not end and Caroline and Ludmila from Brazil also received red cards for protesting and the number of Brazilians increased to 8.
The only goal of the match was scored by American Sophia Wilson in the 63rd minute. It is surprising that the Brazilian team could not score a single shot in the entire match, while the American team turned the target 6 times.
The legendary Brazilian footballer Marta also participated in the competition and played the 212th international match of his career.
