Summary

[edit]

Early on in the match, Colombia created more chances, with forwards Valerin Loboa and Linda Caicedo testing Brazil's defense. Nevertheless, Brazil struggled to break through Colombia's defense, despite a few close attempts.[16][17]

After 25 minutes, Colombia's persistence paid off when Caicedo scored with a close-range finish following a blocked shot.[18] Brazil made substitutions in first-half added time. Colombian centre-back Jorelyn Carabalí then fouled Brazil's forward Gio Garbelini inside the 18-yard box and a penalty was awarded after a VAR review, with midfielder Angelina converting to equalize.[16][18][17]

At the start of the regular second half, Brazil nearly took the lead, with a Gio shot hitting the post.[16] After 69 minutes, Brazilian Tarciane allowed an own goal when her backpass went past her own goalkeeper,[18] but the team quickly responded, and forward Amanda Gutierres scored with a volley to make it 2–2 after 80 minutes.[16][18][17] After a counterattack by Colombia, Mayra Ramírez scored to give Colombia the lead 3–2.[16]

In stoppage time, Brazilian forward Marta equalised with a long-range shot to force extra time,[18] in which both teams slowed down, but Marta then scored again at the end of the first half to make it 4–3. Colombian midfielder Leicy Santos then equalized with a free kick in the second half, sending the match to penalties.[16][18][17]

In the shoot-out, Brazil triumphed. Marta had a chance to win the match, but goalkeeper Katherine Tapia saved her penalty;[18] however Brazil's goalkeeper Lorena then saved Carabalí's shot to secure a 5–4 victory for the team.[16][18][19][17]

Post-match

[edit]
Marta was named the Most Valuable Player of the competition.[21][22]

The title made Brazil nine-time champion of the competition, winning all editions (1991, 1995, 1998, 2003, 2010, 2014, 2018 and 2022), except in 2006 (the team lost to Argentina in the final). It is also its fifth consecutive team's title and the first under the command of manager Arthur Elias.[23][24]

Marta was named the Most Valuable Player of the 2025 tournament.[21] With her two goals in the match, she became the first player to score at least two goals in a Copa América Femenina final since 1998.[25] It was also announced that it would be her last match in the competition.[22]

As winners, they secured a prize of U$1,5 million (approximately R$8,4 million) and will compete in the 2026 Women's Finalissima against England, winners of UEFA Women's Euro 2025, re-enacting the final of the inaugural 2023 edition that was played in England.[26] Futhermore, both finalist teams qualified for the 2028 Summer Olympics.[27]
