The Brazilian women's football team debuted with victory at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. This Thursday, Brazil beat Nigeria 1-0, in Bordeaux, with a goal from Gabi Nunes, completing a good pass by Marta.
The goal scored by Gabi Nunes was the attacker's fifth for the Brazilian team. Shortly before the score was opened, Rainha Marta found the net, but the goal was canceled by the referee due to an offside. Overall, Arthur Elias' Brazil maintained an offensive posture and control of the game after taking the lead. Nigeria offered little danger to the goal defended by Lorena.
SummaryWhen the ball rolled, nervousness was the team's main factor in the first minutes. Using missed passes and intercepted direct calls, Brazil was initially unable to trouble the Nigerian team. Without control of the match, the Canarian team suffered from quick departures from their opponents. So, in the 15th minute, goalkeeper Lorena saved the team by defending a one-on-one shot with Chinwendu Ihezuo.
After the initial tension, it was Brazil's turn to take control of the game. At 35 minutes, Antonia found Marta, who converted, but saw her goal disallowed due to the assistant's offside. But soon after, it was the Queen's turn to find a perfect pass for Gabi Nunes, who finished strongly and filled the net to put the Brazilian team ahead.
What now?In the second stage, the team led by Arthur Elias kept the situation under control. Counting on Lorena's safe defenses, the team that won the silver medal in 2004 and 2008 confirmed its success.
With the triumph, Brazil takes second place in Group C, tied on points with Spain. In the next round, the team will face Japan, while Nigeria will face Spain.

Two young talents revealed by Flamengo shone in Europe this Saturday (14). Goalkeeper Kauã Santos made his Bundesliga debut for Eintracht Frankfurt, helping the team to a 2-1 victory over Wolfsburg. Kauã entered the field after the experienced Kevin Trapp was injured at the end of the first half. Meanwhile, defender Léo Duarte scored his first goal in European football, securing Basaksehir's 1-0 victory over Bodrum in the Turkish league.
Kauã Santos, who arrived at Flamengo at the age of 16, he never played for the Rio club's main team. After standing out in the youth categories, the goalkeeper caught the attention of Eintracht Frankfurt, who invested R$8.4 million for 70% of his economic rights. On his debut, Kauã was unable to save a penalty taken by Baku, but held off Wolfsburg's pressure, helping to maintain his team's victory.
In turn, Léo Duarte, Copinha champion, rose to Flamengo professionals in 2016 and, little by little, established himself as a starter. In 2018, Milan, from Italy, spent 11 million euros to sign him. After a discreet spell at the Italian club, Léo transferred to Basaksehir, where he finally scored for the first time in Europe.
Léo Duarte and Kauã Santos' moment in EuropeLéo Duarte's Basaksehir occupies third place in the Turkish league with 10 points, just two less than leader Galatasaray. Kauã Santos' Eintracht Frankfurt is in sixth place in the Bundesliga, with six points, three behind leaders Bayern Munich.
