Banyana Banyana had hoped to close the gap on Brazil after Friday’s 3-0 defeat at Orlando Stadium, but instead it widened by three more goals as the Seleção gleefully danced six unanswered strikes past SA at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Monday evening.
African champions Banyana Banyana began their preparations for the 2023 Fifa Women’s World Cup with a 3-0 defeat to the strong South American reigning champs Brazil at Orlando Stadium in Soweto on Friday night.
Debinha scored the only goal of the game as favorites Brazil retained their Copa America Feminina title with a 1-0 win over hosts Colombia in Bucaramanga on Saturday night.
With the goal, Debinha finished tied for second in the tournament's Golden Boot race, as she and teammate Adriana Maga finished with five goals each, one behind Argentina's Yamila Rodriguez. The victory puts the finishing touches on a remarkable run from the Brazilians, not conceding a single goal in the tournament, while winning their six matches by a combined score of 20-0.
