The Brazilian women's team beat Argentina 3-1 in the first of two preparation matches for the 2027 World Cup, the match being held at the Beira-Rio stadium in Porto Alegre. The Brazilian team, which will host the tournament, showed dominance in the South American classic, with an outstanding performance by forward Luany, who scored the first goal and provided an assist in the 27th minute. Geyse added a great goal in the 39th minute and, in added time, Angelina completed the lead with a goal in the 45th minute+1, after an assist from Luany.
Argentina managed to restore some competitiveness when Maricel Pereyra scored in the 51st minute, reducing the lead to 3‑2. However, the match was marked by the expulsion of Agustina Vargas, who received a direct red card in added time (90+2) after a VAR intervention, leaving the Albiceleste with ten players for the rest of the match.
The Brazilian victory was marred by an injury to the defense: right back Bruninha left the field with a knee injury and was treated on a stretcher. Despite this setback, the team maintains its confidence and prepares for the next duel against Argentina, which will take place on Tuesday at the Arena Pernambuco in Recife. With the victory, Brazil consolidates its position as one of the favorites for the 2027 World Cup, while Argentina seeks to regain its rhythm and correct the mistakes that cost it defeat.
