Marta’s Magical Return

Having retired after the 2024 Olympics, Marta made a surprise return in May 2025 and proved once again why she’s a global icon. Her two clutch goals—one in stoppage time and another in extra time—turned the tide for Brazil and showcased her enduring brilliance.

“I asked God not to punish me so much… I missed the penalty, but these wonderful girls carried us through,” Marta said after the match.

 Lorena Da Silva: The Unsung Hero

Brazil’s goalkeeper Lorena Da Silva was instrumental in the shootout, saving two penalties and holding her nerve to secure the title. Her performance capped off a tournament where Brazil remained unbeaten and resilient under pressure.
