Brazil Women checked in home draw against Colombia

Women’s international powerhouse Brazil were checked in front of home support during a tricky 1-1 draw against South American rivals Colombia.

Scorers: Tarciane 75′ ; Usme 6′

Veteran Galatasaray forward Catalina Usme got the visitors up and running on the board first with an early goal in the 6th minute, making it the 53rd goal of the 34-year-old’s stunning international career.

Despite expected dominance in possession (64%), Brazil failed to match Colombia’s ability to make the most of what they were presented with as Las Cafeteras managed more total shots as well as shots on goal in the first 45 minutes of action.

Brazil would finally pull back level on the night in the 75th minute thanks to center-back Tarciane, with match data still leaning heavily in favor of the home side going into the final 15 minutes of action at Estádio Kleber José de Andrade.

Though a late surge would see the home side push for a winner across ten minutes of added time, Arthur Elias’ troops would be unable to bounce back from their 1-0 loss against the US Women in the gold medal game during the Paris Olympics.

These two sides are set to clash once again three days from now, with Colombia likely feeling confident of finding another result away from home.
