KEY POINTS

  • Brazil beat Argentina 3-1 in Porto Alegre friendly
  • Luany, Geyse (bicycle kick), and Angelina scored in first half
  • Maricel Pereyra scored Argentina's consolation goal
  • Bruninha (ACL tear) and Angelina (nasal fracture) ruled out
  • Second friendly set for Tuesday in Recife

Brazil defeated Argentina 3-1 on Saturday at Beira-Rio stadium in Porto Alegre in the first of two friendlies preparing for the 2027 Women's World Cup. A crowd of 28,386 watched the hosts build a three-goal lead before halftime.

Luany opened the scoring in the 26th minute with a strike into the top corner. Geyse doubled the advantage at the 38th minute with an acrobatic bicycle kick from a corner routine. Captain Angelina added a third in first-half stoppage time.

“It is incredible to play this kind of match, it makes us all better. We go step by step with our history, it is a pleasure to play with Brazil.”

— Germán Portanova, Argentina head coach

Argentina improved after the break and pulled one back through Maricel Pereyra. Argentina's Vargas was sent off following a VAR review for a challenge on Clarinha. Coach Germán Portanova praised his team's second-half competitiveness.

The victory came at a cost for Brazil. Right-back Bruninha suffered a complete ACL tear in her right knee, while midfielder Angelina sustained a nasal fracture. Both were released from the squad on Sunday, the Brazilian Football Confederation confirmed.

The teams meet again on Tuesday at Arena Pernambuco in Recife for the second friendly. The World Cup draw is scheduled for December 11 at Rio de Janeiro's Museum of Modern Art.
