A Legendary Final: Brazil vs Colombia

🏆 A Legendary Final: Brazil vs. Colombia

From the opening whistle, it was a classic rivalry renewed—the champions Brazil against the fierce Colombian side. Despite Colombia taking the lead in the 25th minute through Linda Caicedo, Brazil’s response was swift: Angelina equalized with a penalty just before halftime  .

In the second half, an own goal from Tarciane put Colombia ahead, only for Amanda Gutierres to tie it again in the 80th minute  . With two minutes left in regulation, Mayra Ramírez scored a stunning strike to send Colombia in front. But Brazil wasn’t done.

In the dying moments, Marta, at 39 and in likely her final Copa América tournament, blasted in a sensational long-range goal during stoppage time to force extra time  .

During extra time, Marta once again made her mark—scoring again to give Brazil the lead—only for Leicy Santos to equalize with a magnificent free kick, sending the match to a nerve‑shredding shootout  .
