Overview
- Brazil routed Zambia 6–1 on Wednesday in Cuiabá in the second round of the inaugural women’s FIFA Series.
- A VAR review sent off Zambia goalkeeper Hazel Nali for a handball outside the box at 26 minutes, and Yasmim scored from the resulting free kick.
- Tainá Maranhão, Angelina, Raíssa Bahia, Kerolin and Vitória Calhau also found the net, with Barbra Banda scoring Zambia’s lone goal.
- The result lifts Brazil to six points and first place on goal difference, with Canada up next on April 18 at Arena Pantanal.
- Coach Arthur Elias is using the tournament for evaluation, rotating roughly five or six starters per match in the first women’s FIFA Series, a FIFA-run friendly event designed for intercontinental tests.
