Preview Paris Olympics Brazil vs Spain
During the group stage Brazil and Spain were both in Group C, with Nigeria and Japan. Spain won the group and Japan came in second. Brazil was one of the best third-place teams due to goal difference. In the quarter-finals, Brazil defeated France to everyone’s surprise. Now Marta and her team face Spain once again. The World Champion had a lot of trouble with breaking Brazil’s defense and creating goal-scoring opportunities.
It was also the match where Marta got her red card and was suspended for one match. She will NOT be available for the rematch against Spain on the 6th of August at 18:00 CEST. FIFA confirmed that she got a two-match ban. We will see Martha in the next for gold or bronze later this week.
Brazil won from Spain twice before, in 2015 at the World Cup and during an international friendly in 2017. Brazil has one huge advantage over Spain: their match did not go to extra time. Portilho scored the winning goal in the 82nd minute. Spain played an extra 30 minutes and had to take penalties.
